Hamsters are very common in our daily life. They are one of the most popular cute pets because of their cute appearance and easy to raise. However, many people have encountered the problem of hamsters escaping from prison. So what should we do if the hamster escapes from prison? Let's take a look at it together.

What to do if your hamster likes to escape from prison

1. It will not come out during the day. Hamsters like dark but not humid environments, such as under the bed, behind furniture, and in the gaps between electrical appliances and walls, etc. Generally speaking, it will come out by itself at night. You can first make a preliminary judgment on where it hides.

2. Prepare a few plastic bags and fill them with rat food. When it is hungry, it will come out to look for food. However, the little guy's movements are basically silent, but it will make a sound when the plastic bag is touched.

3. Prepare water, but it must not be a deep container such as a basin. It can be a small dish or the waterer that the baby is used to.

How to find a hamster after it escapes from jail

1. Close all doors and windows, and put some hamster food and some vegetables on the floor. Be careful when walking because you may not be able to see the hamster and hurt it. If the hamster is hungry, it will definitely come out to eat.

2. Check every possible area where your hamster may be, including: under the bed, under the dresser, behind the toilet and bidet in the bathroom, behind the cupboards, etc.

3. You can put its cage (open) on the floor. Usually, if the hamster sees the cage, it will enter the cage.

4. Choose to set up a bucket trap. Place a bucket with a stand for the hamster to climb into, then put some hamster food and vegetables in the bucket. When the hamster reaches the top, he will smell the food and fall into the bucket, unable to climb up again. The only problem is that when the hamster falls into the bucket, it may get hurt, so pile a lot of soft bedding in the bucket to make it a soft landing.

What size is the right hamster cage?

It is recommended that the cage should not be too big when you first bring it home. Just make sure it is kept warm and has a hidden space for rest. As it gradually adapts to you and your family, you can consider replacing it with a larger and more complex living box. This will help enrich its living environment and help it grow better.
