If your hamster gets lost you should:
Hamsters will be able to creep into any gap or hole that its head can fit through, so check any gaps/holes. They can creep behind appliances e.g. Washing machines/cookers/fridges.
If its your only hamster leave the cage door open as they will normally come back the next day. Its also possible its gone somewhere where it will be trapped and won't be able to come back like, downstairs and it can't climb back up, So you should have a second box/cage there with food/water/bedding so it won't starve.
And also be careful where you step as it may pop out from under somthing and into your way.
If this doesn't work you may be able to buy a trap for the hamster with its favorite treat in. You can also make a trap by using a ramp/box or anything similar. put its favorite food in the box which it can't climb out of again and leave the ramp leaning against the box so it can climb up. Maybe even leave a trail of treats along the ramp for it to follow.
And that's all the advice I can give (sorry its like an essay)

Why has your guinea pig died when it was only one year old?
Sorry to hear about your piggy:( It depends on the symptoms. Mine sneezed, and a few days later I noticed he hadn't finished nearly as much water that day as he usually did. He ended up having pneumonia and despite the use of antibiotics and my force feeding him water every hour, he died. He was only two years old. My vet explained it to me like this: Guinea pigs are happy creatures. They do not want to worry you, so they pretend they are not sick until it's too late. By the time they can't fake it anymore, it's too late to do anything to help them. If you have any other piggies, watch their food and water intake. If either suddenly decline, don't wait---go to the vet ASAP! Every minute counts. From what I understand, birds are the same way.

You don't think that your hamster drinks waterbut will lick water off your fingers why is this?
Hamsters drink very little water compared to other rodents. They are also often stealthily quiet about it, so you often won't hear the familiar tap-tap of the water bottle, as in other small pets. The reason they are drawn to the water on your skin is because the salts in your skin have released into the water, and they are drawn to this. If you honestly believe that your hamster is not drinking water from it's water bottle, check to make sure that it is able to get water from it, and if not, invest in a new one.
