Is it safe to leave the house if a hamster is missing?

Question

my little guy is missing but i have to go with my mom to the store in a little while, can i leave the house?? i've been searching for him for around two hours!!!!

Answer 1

ok so b4 u leave or if u have already left and have come back to no hamster found then in EVERY room in ur house put little tiny piles of food in each corner and close the room door.  if it is like an open room like a kitchen or etc. then block it off with something.!!  U will FOR SURE find hom this way.  i know how u feel my hamster will escape his excersise ball ALL THE TIME...he has at least 5 times already!!  i do what i just said and it always helps.  i mean there will be an enclosed area everywhere now for ur little guy and he will smell the food and what hamster gives up that sweet smelling sense of corn and nuts=D so yeh u can still leave the house and he will be fine=) he might just come out when u come back=D

i REALLY hope this helps and let me know if u found him=D

WELL THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME

and this is what u do works every time u put the same amoute of sun flower seed in each room then u can leave the house for a littel time so it can find the sent of the sun flower seeds and when it calms down it will look for the food.

then when u get back u can look the the room that end with the less food is the room where the hamster is.

and if u hear the hamster eating the seeds it very loud

hope this helps

Answer 11

I wouldn't. Food doesn't always work, but my rabbit likes to fallow scarfs. Silly, huh? It works, try it. Plus, if you ignore him/her, he or she will come out!

Answer 12

My hampster got out once, and went missing for almost a week. I found him several days later, living in my dresser drawer.

Point is, they can survive out of their cages for days. Its safe to leave. Just close the door to the room hes in so that he is restricted to that room, and cant go out anywhere else.

Answer 13

In MY expierence they either show up or they don't.  I would go to the store.  Maybe the quiet in the house will calm  him and let him come out!

Answer 14

make a trail of food in to his or her cage go out and play for a while. when you get back you hamster should be back in his or her cage napping

Answer 15

Yes, it is. I've lost them around the house before, they always turn up. While I'm at it, here's some tips on how to get him out:

-Leave his favorite food and some water in a common area so if he comes out to get some, someone will see.

-Try to set safe traps using the food

-You'll usually find them running around on the floor sometime

While you're at it, try not to get ANY crumbs of anything on the floor so he'll go for the food, and make sure you don't leave anything lying around that could hurt him.

Answer 16

If you do not own a cat, then it should be fine.

It's probably safe if Richard Gere isn't at your house.
