Yeah hamsters, squirrels, guinea pig, mice as such are very vulnerable to predators. Cats, owls, snakes, coyotes gets these for their meal. Thats why you gotta make sure your cage is fully secured and in a safe room where cats can't get in and for the little critters to escape as well. Example bedroom door, keep it closed and locked so cats can't get in.

My gerbil got away and went down the hole behind the stove. My father found it much later running around in his stereo. It was very skinny and dirty. That is the day I found out that my father doesn't like to handle a gerbil. I went downstairs and got it out.

Try putting a piece of lettuce in the middle of a living room and set a trap (a friendly trap, like a shoebox). Then just sit and observe with the lights dimmed.

sorry your hamster escaped...sometimes there isnt much you can do...but try setting a friendly trap with a piece of resistable food good for hamsters to eat. you gotta remember that hamsters are escape artists and will do anything to try escape.

my brothers kid had hamster before but he escaped and never found him again...he was lost forever.

Happened to my brother once. My brother and I had our own pet hamsters. One night, I happened to wake up in the middle of the night. When I looked at the hamster cage, I thought I saw what looked like his hamster sitting outside in front of the cage. I immediately jumped out of bed (it was a bunk bed and I slept on top) and turned on the light. I looked back... it was gone. I woke my brother up and we looked all over the room for it, but couldn't find it. A couple days later, my dad heard noises in the kitchen. So, we left a piece of lettuce in the middle on the kitchen floor near where the noises were coming from... turned off the lights (only the little light over the stove was on)... and hid in the living room peeking in... waiting...

It came out... took a bite of the lettuce... and we immediately ran out... caught it!

That's how my brother's hamster escaped.

My dad put a celery stick in the cage. The hamster adjusted the celery so that it was like a ramp so that it could climb up and push open the lid. Smart hamster!

I'm glad the hamster was recovered again. Just make sure to make your cage more secure and tough to escape.

My pet rat came out of the cage's food cup that was secured loose, she ended up on my roommate's bed sniffing on him and he woke up and had to wake me up. I found the food cup holder was loose and I put the rat in the cage, lol. It's not common for my pet rats to escape and hide. They just like to wander and they will come back, basically. They enjoy staying in the cage, even with the cage door is open.
