I cant let her die she is just a baby and i love her. and most of all i got her last night. please help me what can i do......... please email me back as soon as u can thank you,

Answer
the best thing to do is to place the cage on the floor and keep it open. place a treat outside the cage and place the food inside the cage. I know that it is hard to find a hamster once they escape. They manage to crawl into the smallest corners and darkest places. They are sometimes found under a bed or in the corner of a closet. Good luck in trying to find her.
