*Edit*Its called the bucket method, maybe alot of people here know it already. Oh well, Someone may not, and maybe it will help them out.

I'd put this as an image, but its really big, :0
and I dont want to stretch pages or something.
Its as big as my little laptop notebook screen, so...yeah....pretty big to me. XD
But that link has the image resized so its not super big like how I drew it.

But, this is a way to catch hamsters, we saw in a hamster magazine.
You use a bowl a ramp and some treats in the bottom of the bowl in the room the hammy was in.
Though our hammies wouldnt go in the bowl, because it was to steep, when we tried it, but it needs to be steep so they cant climb back out. so we put some paper on top of the bowl and some light treats.
I worked much better.
I also put this on my deviantart because, I drew it, and alot of my friends on deviantart have hamsters too! X3

I've wanted to put this on a hamster based site for a while! :3
Because its really useful, and saved us alot of trouble, looking in closets that are hard to get to, which we've had to do, or looking under the many couches in our house.
It doesnt hurt the hamsters either!

We've found our hamsters at least 3 or 4 different times using this little trick.

Though, hopefully, we wont have to do this often anymore.
Just wanted to share this with you because no one wants to lose a hammy in their own home. ;3

Yh, but you use a bucket obviously

I never thought about paper cause your right some hamsters might not go in.
Thanks for that x

We just use a big porclian bowl, so they slide in and cant climb out because its slick!...and we didnt have a bucket. XD
Welcome, yeah hamster like ours wouldnt go in at all, they turn right around and waddle off the opposite direction.
