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!
