This happened today i thought it was a cute story so i will share.

Yesterday i discorvered my momma hamster had escpaed the cage for whatever reason. I guess the kids were bugging to much so she wanted a day to herself. So we go crazy looking for her as she left behind 5 very young babis that were still not weaned that needed her. So we over turn everything, the dogs hadnt even barked at anything so we were lost as to where she went. today i wake up and do my normal routine of turning on my monitors lamp and i see into the empty tank next to him...it wasnt so empty...

SURPRISE! theres the hamster...how it got in there i dont know but i guess she couldnt find a way to get out. The monitor was going crazy rying to gt her through the class. I took her back to her kids and shes now snug and safe after her vacation.
I know the title says lucky and she truly is and heres why.....
the monitors cage doesnt have a lid...had she gone into the wrong cage..well.
AND the tank she did go into, 2 weeks ago was home to a 3ft female ball pythong. :nilly::eek:
 
this is actually nothing new to us, hamsters are escaped artist. We had a group of 6 babies all get out together once. luckily they styaed close to each other and we found them all together at the same time.

We another male get out once but he was lose for abou a month, i would here reports of sightings till one day we found him but i guess he got wild or something and was just sooo aggressive after that. :(
 
Thats good you found her. Are the babies ok since they didnt have her for the night or are they old enough to be alone for a while?
 
its a campbells dwarf hamster, found her brother once behind our oven so i guess i match u lol
