lost hamster - encouragement please
15 Answers
The hamster got out of his rotastak during the night (I always thought those tubes didn't fit together that well) and we have looked all day under and behind every piece of furniture downstairs with no luck. Now I'm getting worried, it's like he's vanished. Anybody had this experience with a happy ending? How long could he live hidden in the house. We've sort of looked upstairs in desperation but would he have climbed the stairs?

He will go to seek safety and a warm bed, somethign he can chew and get some fluff from more than likely like under a sofa.
Some strong smelling food is better like cheese to attract him out. Their eyesight is appalling so you need to appeal to their sense of smell.
Would he have been shut in a certain room? Leave some water by it as well so at least if you don't get him he has access to some.
Maybe put a little bed by it so see if he will climb in for a sleep somewhere warm, put some of his own bedding in so it has his smell. They're not the brightest of little things bless em :)
They are actually pretty good little climbers when they get going as they hang on to the fibres with their claws.
Don't discount tiny spaces as they are unbelievably squeezy and can get through the tiniest spaces.
I've had a couple of mine escape. One was found under the sofa having chewed himself a nice nest from it (mum was not impressed!).
Had another couple escape but never not found them though they were quite sociable and would come out.

Lol@jayne !
Hi there Prudie , don't give up hope love , little fellow may turn up any time . Several times try to be very quiet and listen if you can hear little scuffles and squeaks so that you can locate him. One of my hamsters some years ago , Tilly Houdini , escaped and got into the space between inner and exterior walls in the kitchen . I put down fresh food every day and water and , after 3 days he found his way out and to the food and water , a bit worse for wear but unharmed . All the best xxx

I was thinking about the escapee this morning. I am glad that he is back in his little house.
I know that it was all exciting for him - off in search of other hamsters to play with - especially lady ones. But they are so tiny that the world is, I would imagine, quite dangerous for them.
If only he could tell you where he had been and what he had seen on his adventures. :-)
