my hamster disappeared since last Thurstday. Do you think he`s still alive?

That is almost a week. He may have gotten away. I would plug up that hole in the bathroom, and then get another hamster. Sorry he is gone.

Oh, I'm sorry to hear about your hamster. We do have hamsters back home in my country. And i am sure that if there is a cat around, the cat must already feasted your loving pet. By the way, how did your hamster get away from his house/cage. Did you set him free to snoop around and then later on fetch him. Sometimes we do that at home, we let them go out of their house and run freely around the house and then gather them back. Although our hamsters die because of attacking each other. They bite each other. I don't know now if we still have a live hamster since my brother is the one taking care of it.

My brother had a gerbil get out of his cage when we were kids. We assumed he was a gonner, but one night there he was walking around in the kitchen like nothing was wrong. He could be alive still and hiding from the cats.

I don't know.. I know it's a different situation, but one time, my cat went missing for two years! And suddenly showed up again at my doorstep looking well-fed and well-groomed. It was bizarre. So, I've seen it happen. Just keep an eye out, alert your neighbors/roommates, and hope for the best! :)

Aww, I hope you find him soon. He could easily still be alive. My boyfriend's snake got out of his cage and was missing for 3 months. Finally they found him sleeping in the toe of his son's boot. Alive and well! Skinny, but fine. Hampsters like to burrow, don't they? Check the toes of your shoes and small places like that.

well firstly do you have any cats in your neighbourhood? and if so is there anyway he could have gotten out? chances are if he is still in the house and 1) has access to some sort of food and/or water 2) hasn't chewed any cables and been killed (its horrible i know) then you might have a chance. you can buy live catch mouse traps in certain shops, it would be a good idea to position one of these outside the hole in your bathroom just put some of his favourite food in the traps and set them around the house (they particularly stick to walls)If everything fails and he is still alive you can try a heatseeking camera although it might cost you some money. If he is still alive I really hope you find him the same thing happened to my nephew recently. my heart goes out to you and good luck. P.S if you can tell me how to change my avatar i will be SO grateful thank you and good luck

keep looking for him and hope he shows up somewhere alive.

we had one that lived under the stove for 3 weeks, we had given upmon him and replaced him, then I thought I saw a mouse under my stove, somy husband pulled the drawer and found a nest, complete with 10-15 peices of cat foor that we assumed he was eating. So unless you saw him go through the hole, don't give up hope.
