Oh of course we have now gone and lost the family hamster

[LennyPugGoat]

Like being stuck in with 3 children isn’t pleasurable as humanly possible we now have an escapee .

Last seen in his ball by the stairs, I guess they can climb stairs? All doors were open up and down.

We have no chance of finding him, do we?

We lost ours regularly. He will find his way back for food at night.

We found ours in the wine rack in the kitchen eventually ... heard the bottles moving.

It’s over there look...left a bit...left a bit more..

Hope this link works. It's not remotely useful but just very cute. OP I do hope you find the little fella safe and well.

FOUND

I put his floor cage in the downstairs loo with a wine cap of water and a bite of a cinnamon swirl

Little bugger couldn’t resist that temptation....

Thanks all, I’ll get back to Covid-19 damage limitation with work now...

I've just watched that vid - loved it! Thanks, OP

ahh, glad he's back home, safe and sound. Bet he'll sleep well tonight - or praps he'll stay awake, plotting tomorrow's Great Escape

Check the flex on any appliances plugged in near ground level in the vicinity. My housemate’s escaped hamster gnawed all the insulation off the underside of the flex for our TV. I nearly electrocuted myself unplugging it to do some ironing.

This was the good news I needed today

Love the video too

Good update, food always works

Very glad to hear he's OK OP

Glad the video went down well too.

To be fair, I’d come out of hiding for a cinnamon swirl too...

Nice one OP, glad hammy is back where he belongs

Brilliant news. When are you renaming him Houdini?
