If your hamster gets lost you should:

  • make sure that all exits to outside are closed
  • Larger pets like cats and dogs and kept somewhere where they can't harm the hamster, like in a cage or a room where you know the hamster isn't there.
  • Any rodent traps are removed
  • and chemicals the hamster may be able to get to are removed

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)

Good luck finiding your hamster! (-:

Leave some food in a place on the floor in a short container such as a plate, and see if the hamster comes to it, and maybe put flour on the floor around the plate so you can see where the hamster's footprints go to.
