How To Find A Lost Hamster
| Pets : Other Pets If your hamster escapes from the cage, you have to find it as soon as possible, because when it is loose in the house, harm can easily come to it, not to mention that it can do a lot of damage should it reach electric wires or anything else it can chew through. Lost hamsters: beware!If it is left to roam the house it could also climb up onto a high shelf and fall, so you have to be very careful until it is found to keep an eye open for it and watch that it isn't trampled underfoot.How to lure your hamsterA recommended method for luring your hamster to safety is to get a bucket and a pile of books to make a "stairway" leading into the bucket, and set it up somewhere central in the house. You can line the bucket with a towel if you want, and place some food that your hamster likes in the bucket, perhaps strong vegetables or sliced apples which also leave a smell.Put some on the steps leading to the bucket too. Hopefully this will act as a kind of trap to find your hamster, as it will smell the food and follow the trail right into the bucket, where it should be unable to climb back out of again, so effectively you have caught it and it is back in your care.
More hamster adviceI lost my hamster once. If he goes missing during the night, look what doors were open and what doors were closed, so that you know where he can't be. Then keep the doors of rooms he can't be in shut. Put a bowl of food in his cage by the doorway and leave the cage door open, if you then leave it for a while and when you come back you will probably see he has come and taken some food, then in the early evening sit quietly near his cage and he will probably come back for more food, it worked for me!!. I don't know how to ask a question on this...but i lost my hamster and i desperately want her back. I also have a dog, and i'm scared that she will scare my hamster away. My house is also big so i'm horrified that she might have jumped or fell off. She already jumped of the counter from the cage and i'm afraid that she is injured. Any advice would help. I lost my hamster once i was gone for about 5 days, i was very sad also i did not know how to find him? We lost our hamster last night. We looked on this sight and were advised to set up a friendly trap - put a bucket with some food in with some books as stairs. We did this very thing and at 2.00 am heard some scratching and low and behold there was our hamster, inside the bucket. We are so happy she is back and safe. Thank you for the advise.
