Panic moment!!

[twinkle1975]

Just put the hamster in her ball for a run around. I was getting on with some work & suddenly realised the ball had gone very still - went over & she'd flipping managed to get the top off & escaped!!! https://www.runemasterstudios.com/graemlins/images/eek.gif

I managed to get her back by chucking pumpkin seeds on the floor until she came out from behind the fridge!!

Now I just have to go round & pick up all the seeds!

Phew!

(sorry bit pointless but I'm on my own & had to tell someone!)

Good job you managed to her back! Hamsters can get into the tiniest of spaces

I know it was a scary moment for you....

but that post made me giggle lol.

 

[twinkle1975]

It made me laugh afterwards too - but not until after I'd dropped the box of pumpkin seeds on the floor and then had to pick them all up again!!

She's in her cage now looking at me all innocently!!

Sneaky hamster lol.

Phew that was lucky u got her... My hamster escaped from her cage once when we was out.. we came back and she was running up the hall towards us luckily lol. x

i remember when we had a hamster it escaped (we had 4 cats!) and crawled under the fireplace It eventually came back out but we thought he was a goner.

Our old hamster got out once and got under the floor boards!!! she was there for nearly 2 days!! She was my little sisters hamster and izzie camped out in the bathroom (the room she was underneath) and waited for her to pop out for food. She said she was asleep and woke up to scratching and saw the hamster back in the cage so quickly shut the cage!!! x

My hamster did this about 4 times. Sneaky little bugger!

The thought of a panicked you running around throwing pumpkin seeds everywhere

We used to have a hampster when I was younger and we would tape the lid so that it couldn't come off!

 

[NewDad87]

Hehe, nice job.. They sure are sneaky.

 

[twinkle1975]

I think I'm going to tape her in next time!

She's albino so she's got bright red eyes - looking at them glowing at me from down the side of the fridge was a bit disconcerting!
