/an/ I need your help. My younger sister's hamster got lose due to my other younger sister's idiocy. The idiot sister put the hamster in a shoe box because it was running on it's wheel at 4 am. The hamster got out and the hamster is loose. Any ideas of what would be a good method of finding it?

Check behind your fridge, television, washing machine etc. In my experience hamsters are so stupid they go immediately and chew on electrical wires.

This one time I was trying to feed a mouse to my python but it escaped. A few days later my partner steps on it while wandering around barefoot. Winner!

You might want to go out and get some Bitter Lime (ask your local pet store what that is) and spray it on your wires. That guy who said hamsters are dumb shits and eat wires is right. Bitter Lime tastes like shit and smells bad to animals so they avoid it. Just wait until it starves to death (shouldn't take too long), but at least now your wires will be safe!

Some kind of container the hamster can't climb up, some peanut butter, and some books. Peanut butter in the bucket, staircase of books, wait overnight, hope the hamster doesn't die when it falls into teh bucket in search of delicious peanut butter.

I've used the same trick, only with a milk jug cut in half. Leave a washcloth, cloth napkin, or similar rag-like item hanging outside (but not inside, obviously) so that the little bastard can a get a grip and climb up it and into the jug. You can soak the rag in apple juice for added effect. Peanut butter might work okay, but I used melons (smells more strongly). It worked overnight.

This trick does not work in Canada, as milk comes in bags.

Also, OP, tell your retarded sister to oil the wheel with corn or other vegetable oil before going to bed. It won't squeak.

look in dark area with hiding places, even high places, where you think they might not be able to reach.

They go straight for electrical wires, they really do. My hamster chewed my comp monitor cord into eight pieces when it got out once.

Also, check under appliances in the kitchen and any spaces between things like between oven and wall or counter or whatever. Once found my hamster in the pull-out crumb collector thing under the oven. Two of her little fingers were burnt black, and fell off later. She always wound up in the most dangerous places, and yet the next night she'd be trying to escape again.
