stupid hamster! *help!*

I've lost Ash. HE walked off the bed (stupid hamster) and i got off the bed, pulled off the mattress, took everything out from UNDER the bed, and the silly sod isn't there and thus has dissappeared. I was stupid enough to leave my bedroom door open so he could have escaped int o another room but i doubt it. Do i carry on tearing my room apart looking for him or just give up and let him come out of his own accord?

Re: stupid hamster! *help!*

Ermmmm I would be tempted to keep looking, just because I would worry, if he isnt caught before you go to bed you could set up a bucket trap maybe.

Re: stupid hamster! *help!*

O boy, you just reminded me of a time when we had rather too many dwarf hamsters - to be precise, stacks and stacks of cages which, just occasionally, got knocked over and so one or two or three would escape ...

There were many nights when my husband would suddenly wake up and tell me to hush, and then he would lean over the side of the bed and start speaking in a very high pitched soft voice "Come to David, little hammy, you know it makes sense!"

It always worked ...

blue butterfly is on a distinguished road
Re: stupid hamster! *help!*

If any of my hamsters or gerbils disappear I try and sit really quietly and end up hearing them scufflling about somewhere, although if yours may have gone into another room then maybe that wouldn't work for you.

Maybe leave a few of his favourite treats about and see if he turns up that way.

Hope you find him soon.

Re: stupid hamster! *help!*

Hi. I'd sit in silence for a bit. See if you can hear any scratching etc. Will drive you a little insane...but worth it if it works! If not the BEST pet product I bought was a rat/squirrel cage trap! My Roma kept escaping and I spent NIGHTS at a time up. So one night, after I found out she had gone upsatirs and was living in the bathroom, so I lined it with carpet, put some treat and tiny bit of nutella and then st it up....then walked out the bathroom and closed the door....a min later I heard it go and she had walked straiht into it. Twice I realised she was in the kitchen and she walked into it WHILE i was setting it up.

Good luck! xx

Re: stupid hamster! *help!*

ok, right, he's DEFINITELY in my room. ive just sat here for what seems like ages and he came out from under my bed but was too quick before i could pick him up and he ran back under. i re moved everything form under my bed again and he's still not there! wtf? have i got the first hamster that can turn iinvisible whenever he wants? it should be easy enough to spot him - he's black and my carpet is cream!

Re: stupid hamster! *help!*

Just listen for scuffles! When Cinnamon escapes i just sit quietly and eventually she will just come out of her hidey hole and waddle past me and i grab her
if not, like everyone else said you will have to set a trap with some yummy food bait!
