Re: Marge is missing

ah no joy? I only have experiences with a hamster escape and it sounds like the circumstances are different. I had no dogs/cats (just some snakes in tanks downstairs so was worried dads babies had gotten mine)
You hear miracle stories. I hope this is one of them.
What are your cats/dogs like for eating random food? You could leave piles of food, water and toilet roll in different rooms. See if she disturbs any of them. Then you know which room/rooms to isolate.
If you can do it all at once, you could try different times of the day in different rooms where you can shut out the other animals.
Good luck. I know how it feels. your poor daughter. They arent called escape artists for nothing!

Re: Marge is missing

its years since i had hamsters but i had an hamster escape once went for 2 weeks and i finally accepted he was gone and not coming back ....until i found the little terror snuggled up behind my headboard of all places - he had wedged himself there and was all curled up looking comfy so safely put him back in his cage for food and water- didnt seem any worse for wear either.

now i wont have one because id be worried sick that either the cats would get him or that they would frighten him/her , shame because id love one

really hope this becomes a miracle and marge does turn up, u must be worried sick

Ive put food in the rooms where the dogs and cats cant go, thats where most of the rodents are kept, she hasnt moved any of the food which is the most worrying part of it. I hope youre right and she is a little miracle, I just cant belive there has been no sign of her at all.

Ive been checking the cages several times a day and night and she hasnt visited any of them, the hay is exactly how I left it .

I cant imagine she could, Ive checked to see if shes chewed a hole to the outside world but I havent found one, the only other way is if she ran out of the door when someone was coming in or out, we have indoor cats so we cant leave the doors open anyway.

I just read that then checked behind all the headboards , unfortunately she wasnt there though, I do worry about the cats should a rodent escape but the cages were secure, I blame myself for not feeding them that night but I didnt feel great, having said that I also thought if one did get out of the cage theres no way they could get out of the room, how wrong was I.

Thanks for all the thoughts though everyone, if she does turn up I think there will be so many people smiling, hope she decides to come home soon, this lack of sleep is killing me.
