I have lost the hamster!! updated post 42..no news yet

[Cyrano]

I've been told that putting a piece of Mars bar in a trap is a good way to catch hamsters. They have to eat the food there and then

I lost my hamster once..

Our cat used to like to sit on top of his cage and look at him! and one day i came down and the cage top had come away from the bottom and the hamster was missing.

He was running wild in a house with 3 cats.. and I was distraught! I knew he would have been eaten by one of the cats.. and the thought of that was awful.

2 weeks later.. i open a cupboard door.. and there he was... sitting up on his back legs...!! well and happy! not at all the worse for wear as a result of his ordeal!!!

Dont lose hope They are resilient little things.. even with three cats around..

Fingers crossed for you

Have you found him yet?

its hamster-a-go-go on these boards at the moment
my furry prawns are now a fortnight old, all squeaky and fluffy now, mummys taking care of them really well, can finally clean the cage this weekend which is good as its a bit whiffy!

any takers?

Nothing! I seem to be the only one that is really upset - Lucy is convinced that he will come back, DH is just annoyed that he has demolished the house in the hunt for him I keep going over and over in my mind what could have happened to him.

I will keep you informed - thanks for all your concern.

Hope you manage to find him soon.

Sending you a , even if you dont manage to find him Im sure he will be OK on his big hamster adventure up to mischief somewhere! May be he has taken himself on a hamster vacation to WDW to see what its like for himself, just imagine him riding your favorite attraction

I can just picture little hammy now riding big thunder mountain with the wind in his face and his little tongue poking out his mouth Bless.

Oh poor Hammy, hope the little fella comes back soon

I had a couple of incidents with my small pets when I was younger. One got into a set of draws and chewed holes in all my t-shirts (some were worse than others), another got into our bathroom and had the run of the upstairs - we cut a hole in my bedroom floor, put the ladder from the cage down and some food at the top and waited another got down stairs inside the walls near the boiler and Dad had to take off the wooden panel, when we looked in its cage later it had empied its cheeks and had grabbed a big spider whilst adventuring
On a slightly different note - don't read if easily offended -





We once found a mouse in the hammys cage (without it head )
Didn't even know we had mice in the house

Gotta love those little fluff balls tho

Get a bucket (with some food in the bottom) and tip it on its side, rested on some books so it's slanted. The hamster can climb up the books, slide down into the bucket for the food, but then won't be able to get back up the bucket and get out.

Put some bedding in there and he may well be tucked up asleep in the morning. Also it's best to use some books you don't want (e.g. phone book) in case the hamster has a nibble first!

I've heard this before, and almost had to try it. Our hamster used to escape all the time!! Found her once behind a lego box after following a trail of chewed carpet, and another time spotted one of DD soft toys had a frayed bit on, searched her room and pulled out the bed and there was little biscuit behing the bed!!!! I'll never know how she got up the stairs!!

Good luck!

Any news yet???.x.

 

[Girlsontour]

Nope - no sign of him. I have put his sleeping compartment of his cage on the bathroom floor next to the "ripped" up floor boards along with some food but neither have been disturbed.

In the toilet downstairs i have again put bedding and food but none have been touched.

I just wish i knew if he was alive or dead! Lucy put it all in perspective the other night and said that he is only a hamster and imagine what Maddy McCann's parents must feel like!

I have almost given up hope and every morning now i really don't expect him to be there whereas the first couple of nights i kept thinking that he would come back.

Thanks for all your comments and concern - watch him turn up whilst I am in Ibiza for 6 weeks!!

 

[Belle68]

Oh dear, Im so sorry, I still think he is on his way to WDW

 

[Snowy-girls]

Oh no,i am sorry.Can you hear anything-any scratching,rustling? Deffinatley leave his food,bedding+water down for a little while longer-me personally,i would'nt give up yet-i could'nt.x.

 

[Girlsontour]

No noises (and i am a very light sleeper!) I won't move the bedding until probably the end of the year!! I will load a photo tomorrow of him just in case anyone, who is going to WDW, spots him

.But seriously if he can smell his food,he may surface.Don't give up-not yet.As long as you leave water+food for him-check for any little disturbance in the food,to show signs he has been there.Good luck,still have my fingers crossed.x.

 

[sandshal]

OMG HOW DID I MISS THIS ONE! If it was a pony I'm sure Lucy would have searched a little harder!

Shame it wasn't one of your g'pigs with the funny haircuts .. no chance of loosing them down a small hole.

Seriously though ..... I hope you're all OK and the hamster surfaces soon.

I'm starting to see a pattern with Andy's anger ... I think he needs another days fishing on Mickey's lake! What are you doing 4 weeks from today?

Hi Andrea,

Any news on the hamster yet?

[Girlsontour]

Hi Sharon

No sightings yet...but i haven't given up hope! Food hasn't been touched and neither has the water but we had to switch the house alarm off last week because it kept going off randomly during the night (it's never done this before) Andy is convinced the hamster has been chewing through one of the wires. Going to Ibiza on Saturday so my next door neighbour has kindly offered to come and check the humane mouse trap incase he shows up! I really miss the little fella - miss getting him out at night and putting him in his ball so that he can run around.

Thanks for asking and i will PM you this week about your holiday

Love Andrea xx
