Sorry i forgot to update.
yes we found him alive and a little bit slimmer!
On the Tuesday night, everyone had gone to bed except my dp, dd1 was coughing so he came upstairs to check on her, turned on the light and buddy was sat there at the top of the stairs, let dp pick him up and put him in the cage he went straight to the water bottle.
DS2 now checks tha cage religiously to make sure hes not escaped and can;t escape again.
I really hope you find your lost hamster. Everyone said to put a chocolate button in the trap, it didn;t work for us but others swear by it.

So glad he's back!

Billy still lost. We heard scratching under the floor upstairs earlier in the week but he's not eaten any strategically placed nibbles. Not holding out much hope Sad Dd3 really upset.

Have mentioned the humane mouse trap to dp. He is going to lower one down under the airing cupboard.
