So you got black tie and evening gowns for the ferrets?  <grin>
 
So I guess the other magazines have to pick who gets to go.  No such
problem for you two...

There is a difference but with the quarantine no one brings in American
ferrets to the UK.  But with careful selection of breeder the difference
isn't too important.  Most American ferrets came from England at some time
in their past.  Until the last few decades they too were working animals.
 
American ferrets are in general less energetic than English.
American ferrets are in general a bit more predictable.
 
Some prefer one while some prefer the other.  Over here we recommend
American ferrets as first ferrets.  Over there you'll have to get what you
can find.
 
But all that is only from our experiences...

The owner with the pregnant jill was feeding her ferrets cooked 'roo
(kangaroo) - that's a marsupial.  The only marsupial in the US is the
Virginia Opossum.
 
As humor my attempt was pretty lame...
