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. Chere McCoy Ferret Friends Disaster Response International [Posted in FML issue 1203]
