To
catch a hamster you must first
think like a hamster. To do this you may need to
live as a hamster for a week or two. You should eat
what a hamster eats, sleep
where a hamster sleeps, go to the bathroom like a hamster does and you could also try having
wild hamster sex. All of these will allow you to think more like a hamster and thus increase
exponentially your chances of finding your missing hamster.
There is also the
hi-tech approach. Simply strap a
radio beacon of small
proportions onto your
hamsters back.
This will make the hamster much easier to track down should it somehow escape.
Maybe if your hamster is into
bongs you could try leaving some laying around along with some
munchies, this may draw the little guy or girl out.
