Try behind the most difficult piece of furniture to move and where you can't reach the gerbil without having to move it!

Try a very active search rather than waiting for him to show up.
Check the back of closets, and under furniture. Gerbils are most awake in the morning and evening and take their deepest naps at noon and midnight. If you sit quietly in the room you might see him run around.
Start in the room he was lost in and look in every gerbil sized hiding place. Close the door to the room and move to the next room.
Put a piece of carrot and some gerbil food in each room to see which get eaten and where he is.
Make sure to put cats and dogs in a separate part of the house so they don't eat him. Good luck.

Check to make sure that the little tuft of fur from the end of his tail isn't still in the cage, It is a little known fact that if a Gerbil is left alone too long and gets bored it will eat itself but can never quite manage to get that tuft.

Check under the funierture in corners of the house and rooms. Really weird spots. also listen in the walls. I had a hamster that broke out of its cage and somehow got into the walls of my house then got trapped in the wall and we had to cut a hole in the wall to get it out. Hopefully thats not where your gerbil is but look in random places and leave some of its food or favorite snack out good luck : )

Try some place dark, and quiet, where there may be food!
My hammy gets out all the time, but she usually goes straight for the bathroom, or to the bird cage where she can sneak in and get a free meal!
If you set out it's food bowl, it might come back to get his grub on! And if you happen to see him, catch him and put him back in his cage!
I sure hope you find your Gerbil!
Good Luck!

aww that sucks, check all over the house he could be anywhere, all the corners of the house and behind things and in your furniture, put a bucket with some of his fav foods in it, put that somewhere in your house with a ramp leading up it to it and he should go in there and wont be able to get out! im not to sure if that works but ive heard of it. if you have pets, i hope they didnt get him, but if they are acting different and are trying to get at something, it could be yur lil gerbil, good luck!

You're going to want to check all dark secluded places in your home. Places like under the dressers, behind washer/dryer, etc.
Do you have any air/heat vents in the floor? That could be an issue....

My daughter's hami has been missing for a week. Last time it made it all the way down our spiral staircase! My cat and puppy found him. Luckily I got to him before they did! Wish us luck too!
