Question

I lost my hamster and it is in my house some were how can i find it?

Answer 1

I had the same problem only i was on vacation when we lost him!

First, I put treats around the house (2 floored house) to see if any treats ended up gone. So i knew what level he was on.

Second, Check the whole house for and left over food or p**p. (We found p**p in the basement so we knew he went down all the stairs to the basement.

Third, Once you find out what level of the house he is in or what room he's in block off all ways to get out of that room or level so he cannot get out. Put your hamsters cage in that room so that he'll smell the food and come back in his cage to get food and water. MAKE SURE YOU CHECK EVERY PART OF THAT ROOM!

Fourth, Also if none of this works get a bucket and a ramp going up to the bucket. Put a line of food going up to the ramp and put treats in the bucket so when the hamster jumps in the bucket he will not be harmed and cannont get out. Also check on the cage in the room or level every now and then to see if he or she is in there.

Also! When all of this was combined. We found my hamster Buddy.

Hope this helped!

Answer 2

check dark places see if it chewed threw anything or under the sofa or bed make it come out with food

Answer 3

try putting out a hamster treat or some food and maybe your hamster will sniff it out and find it. If it does creep up slowly behind it and catch it.

Answer 4

Check under beds, behind dressers, or any small tight spaces. Behind household appliances. One time my hamster got loose, and we found her in a duct pipe in the basement ceiling!!! So somehow, she got through a vent, fell 2 stories down, and survived.

you could also take a container, pale or a bucket. Put something soft like a pillow at the bottom so your hamster doesn't get hurt. Then put a whole bunch of it's favourite food, and treats, and good smelling stuff. The make stairs to get into it from books or something. Put some of the food around the bucket and up the stairs to help lead the hamster.

Answer 5

under your fridge  and washer dryer any were it is heated

Answer 6

I would try setting some of its favorite treats in its cage and see if it goes in when it sees it.  Make sure the cage is on the floor.

Answer 7

First check vacums under couches beds etc. If u have a dog/cat its a good idea to leave it in a seperate room(that you already checked) or outside.Also put the cage on the floor next to the table where it was it might know where it used ot live and want to come home. You can also buy small traps that wont hurt the animal. Leave some shaving food and water in the so it looks inviting. Lastly when ur searching in room check every room every day. The hamster could switch from one room you didnt check to one you did. Have your family help too. That way it cant switch rooms with out you seeing

Answer 8

i would suggest you to just lay out the food bowl at somewhere where you are sitting around often. Remember that hamsters usually sleep during the day, so you will have to wait till the evening. Be prepared at all times to catch your hammy, cuz unlike mice, hamsters always show up at odd places that are easy to spot...good luck :D

Answer 9

Answer 10

get a bucket, just like any old sand pale, and put food and some kind of treat, like a carrot or something in there. but the bucket in the room where you think your hamster might be in, and make a ramp going up to the bucket so the hamster will jump in and wont be able to get back out without your help

Answer 11

Answer 12

Leave out some healthy but yummy human food and wait around for it to come out. Like, fruit or something. My friend's hamster got in the back of the fridge and had to be rescued because it refused to come out.... maybe if they had bribed him, it would have taken less time.
