Hi, just had distraught phone call from g/son aged 7.Hamster has escaped from cage…

Oh dear, mine did that once when I was a similar age, we found it 3 days later under the kitchen cupboards! In other pet news, my goldfish died last night I hope that the hamster is found safe and well!

My nephews keeps escaping and manages to get into the wall cavaity. They can hear him pitter pattering inside the walls of a night until he come out for food!

I have told him to put food out n cage on floor, so hopefully he will come home…

Nathan’s hamster has never escaped...yet!!!!!Hope your grandson’s hamster comes back safe and sound.He will come back when he is hungry.

Heidi-Sorry to hear about your goldfish.

Jack’s hamsters were always escaping, once Helen climbed into the back of the china cabinet and wee’d in a cup!  Archimedes was always plittong escape, and Hadrian used to just try to barge his way out. Luring them out of their hiding places with food, at night, is the best approach.

sorry about your goldfish, Heidi.

Thanks for the sympathies, he wasn’t so well anyway, I chose him because he had a lopsided tail, a bit like Nemo’s fin! As soon as the good pet shop is open again on Tuesday I’ll go and see if I can find a suitable replacement.

I could always sent my moggie..Fatty, he would find the hamster for you and then sit looking at it. He spends all his time lolling about like this.....

My friends son lost their hamster and never found it, until a few months later and we went over and he got his guitar out, there in the bottom was one flat hamster ewwwwww ! x Janet

Gosh Gill that car looks so funny peering over the edge of the kitchen unit....can you believe it I am terrified of cats...honestly.  Looking at pictures of them is the closest I can handle them.

HI NESSA

when we first got a cat my neighbour stopped coming round for coffee and natters as she is petrified of cats as well. As she always seemed to be in our house I think H was glad to see the back of her!!!!

clever move Gill!

I had many hamsters and many escapees. I once had one called Casablanca whoused to go for a walk then put himself back to bed. My brother had one from the same litter that also escaped but lived behind the toilet.We used to see him scurry along every now and then but never caught him. As far as I know he was still there when we moved, freaking out the new owners no doubt.

love that one Vicky! behind the loo is better than a tea cup!
