Can Hamsters Climb Stairs Not Looked Upstairs??????

Take the food out of the cabinets. Place her cage in the kitchen, put food and water in it. If she didn't find a way out of the house already, she will likely be back to get food from her cage... try to leave it open only when you are home so someone can shut the door when the hampster goes in.
We had a hampster that got loose and she finally came out of hiding about 2 weeks later, unfortunately, we had a ferret that got to her... But if you don't have other pets that can get to her, hopefully she'll be fine.

Don't leave the house doors open until you find her, if she gets outside you'll lose her. Keep all the inside doors shut too, look out for her droppings, then at least you'll know which room she's in.
Once you know where she is you'll have to try to catch her, the easiest way is to get a small cage that she can climb into, leave the door open, put in lots of bedding and some food and water and just keep checking it. When you find her asleep just shut the cage door.
Search the toom thoroughly, but hamsters are so small she could be somewhere unexpected like under the fridge or behind the fridge where the motor is and its warm. Be very careful about moving furniture until ahe's caught.

hamsters can climb stairs, especially carpeted ones.
Try some food on a very stretched layer of clingfilm, on a bucket, or another tall thing that they could get to the top of from the outside(so near a bookshelf etc) but not get out of. Stetch the clingfilm really tight so it close to breaking put the food on, then when the hamster goes for the food, it will fall into the bucket and not be able to get out. This has worked for us. You could also do this with a loosely fixed piece of cloth.

I have got a great idea...Hamsters are nocturnal animals meaning they come out at night... Put a clean big tall bucket or your kitchen trash can (without the lid) will work too... put a staircase of books leading up to it... and put lots of food in it... put it near where you lost her.. chances that she will smell the food and fall into it but will not be able to escape... I tried this at my school when our class hamster went missing.. We tried this and the next morning there she was... I hope this works for you.. good luck..

She will show up when she gets very hungry. I suggest not putting food out in more than one place or anywhere you can watch it. Because she will only come out to eat it when no one is around. You can also attrract mice with hamster food and you don't want mice.
I will pray for her safe return. If you pray this would be a good time.

when our hamster escaped, we put food down in the room where the ball was first placed and waited until the hamster re-emerged. It took a few hours, but caught him in the end!
when i say waited, i mean we sat in the room for hours

just yesterday my friend found her lost hamster in a tipped-down lint bucket in the basement!
try putting a bit of peanut butter or something in each room, then close the door to each room so it can't get out. wait overnight, and the next day check each room. If the peanut butter is missing in one of the roms, check EVERYWHERE in that room.
good luck!

Hamsters usually will try to find a place dark, and under something, so wat you should do is put all the food that you left everywhere, and put it all together, and continuously watch it to see if their are any bite marks, or if anything missing. Hamsters have good noses, and they got toi eat some time right? I hope you find her! good luck!

Just keep an eye out for them. I have had hamsters missing before and they all eventually turned up. I once had nine baby hamsters get out and they all turned up at different times.

mine could climb stairs... leave food out in the open on each floor of the house. look for her at night...try to listen for her, look for chew marks on wood. you wont find her durring day so just make sure ur hosue is closed up good and u leave her food out in the open...if your lucky... u might jsut find her there. hampsters hide behind countless things in ahouse the list could go on for ever.
