Whenever I give a treat of Nutrigel or ferretone, I whistle a little two
note tune. Hopefully they associate that sound with the treat. It seems
to work - unless they are asleep. I see Clover stop dead in her tracks
when she hears it. Admittedly, a squeaky mouse is more reliable with
Princess.
I use my lips to whistle, not a plastic whistle, because I know that I
will always have it with me!
