Answer
Hi Michael,

Well it seems that you have done all you can right now. I would also suggest looking through every room carefully. Look under and around everything. Even under things that set close to the floor. Hamsters can fit into small places. They usually like to hide in corners.


Thank you for your question and best of luck!
