my hamster escaped from his cage last night. the door for the room he was in was open into a hallway with two other open doors. I’ve done a thorough search of all the rooms this whole day- it’s now nighttime again and he’s not making any noise anywhere. I left treats out in the rooms but he hasn’t taken any, and he’s been completely silent. One of the rooms has access to the insulation in my house that he could’ve gotten into. It’s not impossible for him to be there but I checked almost all of the insulation around and i’m fairly certain he didn’t burrow down there.

The fact that i’m not hearing anything is making me extremely scared that he died, and i’m not sure how to find him. One potential option is that he went down the stairs, but the stairs are quite high and it doesn’t seem plausible he would. I have no idea what to do and i’m not sure how he’s still alive. Has anybody been in a situation like this and if so, what should I do?
