We appear to have an escaped hamster. We have closed the doors to all the rooms in the house, and left a bit of banana in each in an attempt to narrow down his location. :-( I am now mostly spending the day inspecting banana and trying to reduce the number of boxes of stuff we have in the house, thus taking away some of the maze of hamster-sized hiding places.

But to inspect bananas, don't you have to open doors ???

Hope you find your hamster (him/her? I've forgotten!) but maybe it's just off rescuing someone.

Good point! Maybe I should wake up the gerbil and put her In Peril, as bait for Brownie the Rescue Hamster. Because the banana bits do not seem to work.

Surely that's mice?

(remembering reading all the Miss Biance books as a child, and suddenly realising I left them off Farah's survey...)

Surely to catch a hamster you need to add a small river, a selection of toy boats and a plastic jeep pulled by string.

Oh, and TV cameras.

Hamsters are completely star struck.

Good lord -- someone else remembers Tales Of The Riverbank!

Yes, now that you mention it, I too remember Tales Of the Riverbank, though I'm pretty sure I was past the target audience age by the time I saw it. Not that this stopped me watching it as the show had a certain X factor to it that made it hard to stop watching. Weird that.

Some hours having by now loitered past, I'm curious to know whether you've yet recaptured the creature....

Alas, no. But he is nocturnal, not usually venturing out of bed until 9pm, so I remain hopeful of a sighting later.
