delaney Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 (edited) WHO? WHO in their right mind sees a hamster run across a family room and does NOT TELL THE KIDS!!!??? The answer would be my stupid, unmarried, no children,ignorant as hell brother in law! He just now told us that he saw it this morning walking in the family room!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME? So now the kids are frantic and we have been searching all 6000 available sq feet of this house. What are the chances?:confused: We just found the darn thing! It was behind the fridge which I pulled out 2 times! I guess it was somewhere under it, in it?:glare: Edited November 30, 2010 by delaney Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 I'm sorry. I hope they find him soon. Would it help to leave some food and water out for him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carol in Cal. Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 I have found escaped hamsters safely several times. They like to be close to their homes. I hope you find him soon!

My plan is to leave the cage on the floor open tonight in hopes her nose brings her home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny Piaaree Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Would he come out for peanut butter? That's what we used when my rat escaped. Hope you find him soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mejane Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Sorry, hope you find it. As far as bil, he really may just be ignorant. I once left an iron cord hanging off the board while visiting my sil's house and was torn a new one by bil because the kids could've pulled it down on themselves. I felt terrible, but I didn't have kids at the time and it really just didn't dawn on me, kwim? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgehog Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Hope you find your little buddy! - I think they usually come out into the open when they get hungry.. you could leave the cage down, open, with food in it maybe.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
min Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Glad you found it. I can beat that, though it was a child. "I thought you knew the barbeque was on fire." LOL Min Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denisemomof4 Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 I'm so glad the little critter was found. Mine used to climb the stairs and crawl into bed with me when I was a kid! Thank God I never rolled and crushed him!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Margo out of lurking Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 I hope it pooped in his suitcase. Then maybe next time, he'll let someone KNOW it's out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redsquirrel Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 well, many, many years before I had kids, I was a babysitter. I was sitting for a friend while she was at work late. When the kids were asleep and I was reading on the couch out walked a hampster. I should mention that I DO NOT LIKE rodents. I made a good attempt to catch the fuzzy thing but it got away. I told my friend, all in a panic, as soon as she walked in the door. She informed me that they allowed the hampster to walk around for days at a time because it seemed to like it. She isn't even the first person who has told me this! Other people have told me that they routinely allow their hampster or gerbil or whatever weekend furloughs! EWWW! So, now, if I see a hampster walking around in a house I just figure, to each her own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrothead Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 I'm another. I wouldn't have thought twice about seeing it roaming free. ;) Of course, I already know I'm not in my right mind. :willy_nilly: I'm glad it was found. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
