My hamster, Miss Bitey, was having her nightly free range time in the kitchen this evening. Normally when she’s in there I’m sat in the kitchen working, and it’s nice and quiet. But tonight we got back quite late, and I needed to put the oven, on washing machine and tumble dryer on, so I couldn’t track what she was up to like I normally do.
I haven’t seen or heard her for about two hours now. Normally when I’m sat there I can hear her, and see her bombing around from time to time. I was worried that I hadn’t seen her for a while so I turned everything that made a noise off, and sat there quietly for about an hour waiting. Not a peep. Sometimes she goes under cupboards but you can always hear her rustling about. Tonight, nothing.
I’ve checked inside the washing machine, she’s not in there. I’ve moved everything that’s movable out, and shone a torch behind everything else that I can’t move. No sign of her.
I’ve put a baby corn on the floor and gone upstairs for now. Going to check in a bit to see if it’s gone. Not sure what else I can do? I’m worried that she’s stuck somewhere or hurt.
