Dear /an/,

My Roborovski dwarf hamster just fucking escaped, thanks to my girlfriend. (OHMIGOD I WANNA PET IT)

It could be anywhere on this floor, since the stairs are very high. Doubt it could get up them. Pic is not mine, but looks exactly the same.

Please advise.

They're insanely fast. I need a way to catch it without hurting it.

They tend to hid under things, be careful of moving things around when looking for it for fear of crushing it.

After dark, wait and see if you can hear it scuttling around, then put some food nearby to lure it out. Have something at the ready to catch it with.

Throw a box over him? Then you can scoop him up or something with a bowl or whatever.
Or throw a towel over it, should be weighty enough to pin it down.

I got him under a pillow in the couch, caught him in a cardboard box. He chewed through it, and is now somewhere in the room, quarantined.

How long did you wait to get him??

I lost my hamster Sammy once. He was gone for 2 days then I looked in my closet, heard rustling noise and called out for his name, he came running into my cupped hands! Then I gave him a tummy wub.

But, a good way to catch em is get a bucket or something deep and have it tilted and a ramp up to it. Trail some food to the top and some at the bottom, he'll smell the food and go in and get stuck.

I've heard some cases where people have used flour to find the footprints to their lil hidey hole.

put it's cage with some food in it on the floor and leave it overnight. Homsters have a nesting instinct, and will probably try to return of it's own free will. If they run it's because they are curious or scared (if your gf was trying to grab it probably the latter) not because they yearn for freedom.

"OHMIGOD I WANNA PET IT"

That's what all the chicks exclaim when they see my juicy, oversized man-penis. And I'm all like like "No way baby, maybe next time." But when it does escape from it's tight, denim incarcerate, it's like a two for one sale at Dairy Queen on an infernal Friday afternoon, and everyone's lips are smeared with frothy white cream.

God, my dick is so motherfucking illustrious.

First, take a lot of sunflower seeds from your hamster's food mix, and set 10 in the middle of each room of your house. Try to keep the doors closed and every hour or so, check each supply of seeds to find out what room your hamster is in. If you're fairly certain he's still in your room, ignore this.

Instead, get some kind of tall Rubbermaid container, tank, or something similar. Try to get some type of box that's at least a foot high since they're good jumpers. Then, find a few books and make a 'staircase' up to the edge of the Rubbermaid container. Now, find some kind of long ruler or stick, and tape it to the other end of the Rubbermaid container (so that it hangs over the inside and almost reaches the other side and looks like some kind of diving board), but leave it 3 or more inches away from the top of the 'stairway'. Set some food on the very end of the ruler so that your hamster will try to jump for the food, and end up in the box instead.
