major disaster averted, JUST......

So i came upstairs to feed the fluffs before going to bed, got to the top of the stairs and looked to ebony and ivory's space (2 self black syrian sisters) and to my horror...... ivory's door was WIDE open and no hamster in sight

the lounge door had been wedged open (down a flight of stairs) and moggy had been running in and out like a loon all night, the bathroom door (next to the cages) was also open, theres atleast 3 spaces a norty hamster can get into the walls in there!!!!

so i shut the bathroom door ran back downstairs, shut the lounge door, looked all over all 3 landings, ripped the bathroom to pieces, came out the bathroom on the verge of a panic attack......... and who should be sat in the middle of the landing, cheek pouches bulging....... yep IVORY

lots of hugs and kisses later, and the monster is back in her cage, with the door firmly shut and clips added

I would have just died. Thank God you found her!

i almost did!!! the thoughts that were running through my head were unbearable, thankfully there is not a mark on her she was just enjoying stealing all the treats that were on the landing, such a norty monster

What a shock! Trust them though...while our hearts are pounding, temperature rising and we tear furniture apart to find them - they're sitting pretty in the middle with their stuffed faces like..."What's all the fuss about?"

Haha, I'm sure she was wondering what all the commotion was! xP She was just enjoying a nice adventure.

Glad you found her and everyone was safe! = D

I've had the same casual hamster wandering by afte spending 20 hours searching for them.. they're so cheeky!
Glad you found her safe, did she manage to open her own door?

Lil Miss · 06-18-2011, 01:10 PM

yes she did, the little beastie

littlemonster · 06-18-2011, 02:27 PM

haha bless her!
this may sound very odd but my previous hamster Amy started to open her cage door by herself! so we had to padlock the door hahaha! she was so crafty ^_^

I have used clips with great success as well - all of the hamsters I have known (3) were accomplished at the art of opening a cage door - the ones I use are called "binder clips" by Wikipedia and have proven to be absolutely hamster-proof so far.
