My daughter fed the rodents in her room about an hour ago, when I went in to take the mice for their free range Lisa (gerbil) ran over my feet, she was out of the tank and Marge is missing, the door has been closed and Ive literally torn the room apart but Marge isnt anywhere to be found, Im so worried shes somehow got out of the room and with cats and dogs roaming it just isnt safe at all for her. I know a bucket trap wont work and gerbils would very easily chew out of a humane trap but does anyone have any suggestions for catching a loose gerbil. My poor daughter is in bits she says if Marge doesnt get found its all her fault for not clipping the lid on properly .

Can you shut the cats and dogs in a room that Marge couldn't of got into, and you can check easily (such as the bathroom)? If you can do that then it might be a good idea to do so. After that I have no idea what to do as I've never had tiny animals like Gerbils and I don't know how to catch them if they do escape.

Good luck catching her.

Opinions are like armpits. Everyone has them, and some stink.

Oh your poor daughter! It is too easily done!

You are the one I have approached for ideas so I have no idea hun! Sitting in silence won't help cos of the other animals! Lying down flour alond the sides of the room will let you know if she is active in the room. Don't know much about gerbils...if you opened the cage (putting other in a temp cage) would she go back in?

Am so sorry am not much help Rally hope she comes back safely! xx

Just let you know.. Chewie bear vanished today.. I have gutted every roo.. And then shut the doors..

Ive been panicking one of the dogs had eaten her.. Giving them filthy looks all day..

I just had to run to the bathroom to answer the door via the window.. and nearly trod on Chewie Bear. she vanished again.. so Ive just sat in there in the dark.. she popped back out so I called her and hse trotted back over..

The terrorist is now back in her cage.. And I can smile at the dogs again..

Really hope you find Marge. Big hugs.. xxx

I hope I find her as easily too hun. I havent really got anywhere to shut the other animals, the dogs are too big to be locked in one room really and the cats would yowl all night if they were locked in which would drive my oh mad, looks like Im just going to have to sit up all night listening/looking for her .
