Gizmo, my hamster, escaped!!!!! How can I find him!?!!?!?

First be careful not to step on it if its lost one of the best methoods of getting a hamster 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.


most people tend to lure it with food and it usually works put food up somewhere and something to trap it with because the hampster is sure to get hungry !!!!!!!
hoper that helps

I just got this hamster a couple months back because I love animals. I heard him in his cage last night running on his wheel. When I woke up to get ready for school, his cage was empty! I'm so sad that I'm crying. I am 12 years old and afraid that he may be dead. I have put out peanut butter, tin foil, his fave food, water, and left his cage gate open ( *note that he knows how to walk right into his cage through his cage cage if it is open*) Please someone out there...help me find my hamster I love him so much!! I have also search the house as much as I can go.
