    Default hamster loose in my house!!!

    Its not mine, but it is my sons best friends pet! Can I catch it somehow without hurting it? It is creeping me out and any advice at all would be appreciated!

    Thanks!!

    Most hamsters have the name 'Houdini' somewhere in their bloodline - they really are slippery little critters. Searching for 'catching escaped hamsters' resulted in pages of results on 'Google'....!!

    Put out food for it, wait around till it comes and then pick it up, put it in a little pet container and vwa-la. If it's scared it'll pee on you or bite you but if you pick it up so that your hands around it's body and little front legs, it won't be able to bite you.

    And if you don't catch it soon, it probably died. Go to Petco and try to find a similar looking one. I bet your son's friend wouldn't even notice.

    Open his cage on the floor where he can get in it, put it where you have seen him....middle of the floor....put food and water in there so he doesnt die.....its will also be the best way to trap him.

    He is scared.....so trying to corner him and pick him up will be very hard.....and if when he gets away...he will be more leary about coming out into the open....

    You're scared of a hamster!? Does he have menacing, scary, dark-red eyes that betray a deep-rooted hatred of humanity surpassed in evil look only by the blood-soaked, millimeter-long fangs stretching threateningly from his hungry mouth?

    This must be some bad-ass mutha-fuckin' hamster! Is he a Crip or something?

    put the cage in a corner and cover it most of the way with a towel so it becomes a dark hidey hole. Put some hamster irresistible Nom noms like granola and chex mix inside and some water. Come by and close the door a few hours later or in the morning and you probably have a pet hamster again. Just move quietly to the cage, and close the door before you peek.

    Sorry but that is a really cute dilemma! Just make sure you check under couch cushions before sitting down. Same thing happened to my niece's hamster and months later while spring cleaning they found it flattened and mummified in the sofa.

    ^ Oh God. That is traumatizing.

    That happened with me when I was little but not with hamsters. I caught like 5 salamanders, put them in a tank, next day they were all gone. We found 4 of them within the next few months, solidified and dried out like jerky. Hopefully the fifth one escaped and went on to live a long successful amphibious life. *sigh*

    Thanks everyone! Caught em with the cage trick today! he got lost in his apt and migrated to mine, prob cause they got a cat recently and he was afraid and has been here before.

    Stat - All little rodents are creepy (so are frogs/lizards/bugs, etc)! No red eyes or fangs required! lol Imma girly girl!

    If the cat fails, get a snake.

    See? They didn't flash the right colors, and that hamster was clearly part of 8th street gang.

    Good grief. Now I have a similar situation. A white rat, nominally bought as snake food (no, I don't typically feed live rodents--but the snake is ailing) that we took a shine to and made a pet. Smart lil' bastard keeps escaping and returning, probably after soiling some hidden corner of the living room.
