The Great Escape!

[LoveMyHams]

Today i had gotten up at 9am and went to watch tv on the couch. The hams live in the living room and no one was up moving around so I didn't check on them too closely. At 11:30 when my husband was in the kitchen making lunch I suddenly heard him yelling for me to come quick. He yells that Butterscotch is in the kitchen!! I sit up and look at her cage ( she lives in an aquarium with a mesh lid) and nothing is open or looks amiss. I run to the kitchen and sure enough, there she is, little head poking out from behind the garbage can. Such a naughty little girl! She had chewed a hole in the screen and pulled herself out. She made it all the way from the living room, made a turn and went all the way across the kitchen. She wasn't hurt, just upset I returned her to the cage! She had a big drink, pouched all her food and went to bed. We have no idea how long she was out, but all is well . We have a 3 bedroom/2 bathroom house so we were so lucky she didn't go far.

The naughty girl below.

The naughty girl, now you'll have to really watch as once they escape they will try again, and again to re-escape.

Ha, what a sweet little escape artist! Willow escaped once but that was my fault for forgetting to close a side door on her cage I didn't usually use after I'd rigged up some tubes for her. She was busily making a nest under my bookcase when I found her but she was actually glad to be caught and was clingy for the first time with me, I think she scared herself! She often made nests under the bookcase after that but only when I actually knew where she was and it was playtime! I hope your little miss naughty stays where you want her to be now!

I watched my WW climb higher than ever up her water bottle last night then had a nightmare that she had escaped & I couldn't find her. Woke up & thankfully it was just a bad dream

What a naughty little hammy!

Glad you found her safe and sound.

[Piebald]

Glad you found her! Be sure to re-inforce the escape hatch because Hamsters never forget.

I had one that always wanted out. Got her a rabbit hutch in the end!

Butterscotch is lovely. Her name really suits her.
