Hello. My names is Howard Bentley and I am a scientist who tests these types of things every day. Okay the only reason a hamster might escape is if they feel threatened by anything or if their cage is not roomy enough. If you start having problems with your hamster biting the cages you might need to switch what food he/she is eating because they must not like it. Hamsters are very fragile so do not scare them or they will become frightened and run, they want run far because they know if they leave they will more than likely starve. And depending on if you have a male or female they get scared easily With males they do not get very frightened but females will to tend to freeze in place for hours-----like gerbils------------ Hamsters are really good pets and don't let people who say they escape change your mind about getting one. Sincerely H. Bentley
