I`m over in Tullibody so your not too far from me! Sounds as though you had a lucky escape there! What cage do you have? Do you know how she managed to escape?

That certainly would be a surprise first thing in the morning.

My Holly went missing once when I forgot to close the door of the cage, I went in to the spare room half an hour later and found the cage empty. After panicking for a while I sat in the room and heard a rustling, opened the wardrobe door and there he was in the bottom of the wardrobe, exploring all the bags of stuff I had shoved in there. I think he was trying to find Narnia.

I once lost a PREGNANT hamster! We searched everywhere, twice, to no avail. Then when we came back my brother reported a "fast small grey thing" under a bed. I said "Is it the hamster?" And he said "How many grey hairy things do you have under the bed?"! We caught her and her babies were born three days later!

I've got the Hamster Heaven one by Savic :3 Only got it recently, and after a scare earlier in the day when she froze from an outside noise, I think the penthouse door wasn't latched properly, as she'd had to be taken out in short notice to check up on her and calm her down.

Once, when I was much, much younger, around 13 years old, I had a golden Syrian that I rescued from a bad situation. She had a scar on her back, so I named her Scarlet.

Anyways, I accidentally left the door to her cage open after putting her back from playtime. When I came back into the room her cage was in (my bedroom), she was long gone. I thought I'd never see her again and turned my room upside down looking for her. When an exhaustive search of my room yielded nothing, I sat down on the floor, resting my back against the foot of my bed, stopped my crying, and listened. It was a last resort, but to my surprise, I heard a sniffling wiffing sound next to my ear. Somehow, and I can't figure it out to this day, my Scarlet had wound up on top of my bed, deep in the sheets.

Another time, Scarlet had gotten out again, and I didn't even know until my mother called me upstairs. There was Scarlet, waddling down the hall, with the family cat right behind her, looking ever so intrigued at this new moving toy she found, but not pouncing.

Now, this cat was a proficient mouser, and had regularly gifted us with dead mice on our front door step when she was younger, but somehow, she new not to pounce on this hamster, maybe because Scarlet looked and smelled different than the field and deer mice the cat had caught in her youth, or maybe the cat wasn't in the mood. Either way, I scooped up Scarlet before the cat had a chance to think twice and put her back in her cage.

Sadly, Scarlet died some odd months later at the age of 2 and a half, from a cancerous tumor on her leg.
