The hamster got out during the night
Posted by: JWM on 12 June 2010
Anyone got any tips for catching? (and no, cats, traps, etc are not acceptable suggestions...!)
Quite a large and rambling house with lots of little hidey holes behind things. We've had a good look, but can't see any trace. Perhaps there'll be more activity this evening?
I've got two days. JWM jnr gets back from Download on Monday.

Good luck, you'll need it...
seagull jnr's hamster escaped and took a liking to my speaker cables, I found it under the shelves I kept my LPs in.
Miss seagull's hamster escaped and was lost for several days (she was away at Brownie camp - it always happens when the children are away). We looked everywhere but without any luck. Eventually we were looking in the playroom (a converted integral garage) and could hear some scratching. The hamster had got behind the plasterboard, we are still not sure how. I managed to make a small hole and coaxed it out but it was very fragile after that and did not last long

Is that the kind of advice that makes you a chubby kitty?

Nice one
I didn’t get where I am today by not knowing the how to catch a hamster.
Sorry guys wasn't intended to be Morse code - was trying to post an image url and got it slightly wrong then got distracted by a poor attempt at a football game ...
Meant to say that you could use one of these as bait. For those not in the know it's a Hamstercaster ...

Criccita.
Just back (Sunday 7.30pm) from my second stint in Oxford. To find...
...At last, the prisoner's back behind bars where he belongs!
"Wot, me?" asks Percy, "Wot did I do?"
After a week of no show, he was finally spotted coming out briefly from the chimney ventilation air hole under the unused gas fire.
I laid the ramp/food/drop-into-box trap last night whilst I was here. I checked this morning (05.00) before setting off for Oxford - clearly the blighter went in but somehow got out again! However, he clearly realised what was good for him, and during the course of today was to found have climbed back into his cage and gone to bed...

Glad Percy's safe and well James.
Hamsters do usually end up going back to their cage........eventually.
