We have used squeak Toys in the Shelter since 1991.  All ferrets are trained
to come when the squeak Toy Squeaks.  We teach them this reaction so that if
there is a emergency such as a Tornado Watch and the kids are out we can
round them up in a hurry.  Of course each time they come they get a treat -
i.e. raisin, nutrical etc.
