I trained mine to come to a whistled rendition of "Pop Goes The Weasel" It works great in the house, but I found when a ferret escapes outside it's hard to whistle when you're crying. I tried a dog whistle but it hurt my husband's ears! (Hold the jokes, he's no "dog"!) cb [Posted in FML issue 3360]
