to catch a lost hamster, you don't need a hamster trap. You can just get a bucket, put some strong-smelling food inside that fills at least a quatre of the bucket. Place a ramp or a ladder of some sort so that the hamster will smell the food, climb up the ramp/ladder, and will fall in but can't get out again. This won't hurt the little hamster at all.

Place small amounts of treats around in different places remember how many you put down and where don't forget to use small plastic containers. Eventually the hamster can find them and it will need to eat sometime. You can then find her/him and place the hammie back into the cage safe and sound.

It depends on where it is. If it is in the vent then find somebody small. If it is just running around your house then race after it.

Gnats in the hamster cage?

It can do this becase of its need to use its teeth. Give it branches of forest trees (if you don't it can get serious problems as the teeth will grow too long). Or maybe it is trying to escape?
