Was going to suggest boiled egg but they are probably out of stock. Would have given you one if we had any.
Trying to think of something smelly that would attract him. Maybe something of Morse's warmed up to bring out the smell.
Don't know if you could get some wax worms from Squires. Hamsters love wax worms. Xxx
Still no sign of him, all food left untouched
When I was a child I had a Syrian Hamster who went AWOL for about 4-5 months. My Granny left food out for him every night and it was always gone by morning. Eventually he was found when strange scratching noises were heard coming from a sofa. On opening up the sofa a web of tunnels and nests was found along with a very cross Hamster.
I only have one soft chair now and I have disemboweled it. But there was nothing to suggest Fearghal was in there. I fear he has managed to get out of the house via a gap in where a downpipe from the wall to the drain goes
All this has got me thinking. Given that many Hamsters appear to escape their cages is it a sign that they should never be kept as Pets in the first place ? If I saw some sign that Fearghal was accessing his food I'd seriously consider letting him continue to have total freedom. I'd never see him, so I'd not know if he became ill. But IMO he'd be a damn site happier than being confined to a cage, any cage.
dear jack,s-jane,-just caught this post about ferrgy,--oh wow,-I feel your pain,-many love vibs.-please donot despair,-sometimes when we panic we overlook the obvious,-if you know when he is awake-listen for digging,scratching--things they must do-ie.eating drinking.--the habbitrail-[tubes]-would be an excellent place to hide,sleep,etc.-,keep all doors to outside closed.-try to maintain calm-for proper ability to think.--be very quiet and you might hear him-.--sending massive vibs for your health and ferrgy.s safe speedy return.--sincerely james waller from the other kent-usa- no- china fluHe's escaped and has been missing for over 24 hours. I have gutted the house and I cant find him
I am useless, this cage was bought with the best of intentions. The bar spacing was meant to be suitable for Dwarf Hamsters. Why did I believe it, I read that tanks did not provide adequate air circulation and could lead to RTIs. I am utterly devastated. I have hurt my back again in all my pulling out of kitchen cabinets etc and pulling skirting board away from walls. I can barely move. Now caring for my Rabbits is going to be so hard. It is all my fault
I will NEVER forgive myself for this
