Answer 1

Hello...best place to check for good critter insurance is with the Pro's - Vets or Professional Breeders or even the AKC & no offense ..for what the insurance & vet costs are, depending on what the true money value is - like Westminster type critters, etc...your often better off just buying a new pet or reptile, just for many they say "It's about the love" so if you have the money it's fine..but most insurance companies are in the biz to make money, they have all kinds of things they won't cover costs for & that's most often the most expensive time & when you need it most...Take Care

Answer 2

I tried to insure mine and was told no one will do it, but i think pet plan has now started to insure exotics. If not you could always just put some money away each week and use that in case the worst should happen. good on you for being a responsible pet owner and getting insurance!

Do you have a good tortoise vet? Then the answer is whatever coverage they take.

Don't have a good tortoise vet? Then what good would coverage do?

Answer 4

my sister has a tortoise he is very fussy he only eats cucumber and dandilions! He was in the garden one day and our dog bit a tiny bit off his shell but he's alrite i dont know what can be done to help a tortoises shell but the legs could be helped. They are quite rare so I would probably get him/her insured yes.
