Ahhh Hes Gone!

Hes done it again. made the great escape. bali opened his locked cage and is somewhere around the house. hes not in his normal place behind the tv and ive been looking for him for sometime. any suggestions as to were i should look? please help.

Depending on the temp of your house they usually gravitate to warmer areas. If you have hard floors you can put some flour or sand on the ground and look for snake tracks as they like to travel at night. I need to finish mine but I am puting a heated hide on the floor under my racks so if I ever get an escapee they will most likely go in the warm hide, basically a 4" PVC with cones on the ends and a flexwatt attached to it and controled by my rack t-stat

ok thats a good idea but my mom will be really pissed if shes sees sand or dirt on the floor. and im going to go looking in warmer places rite now. im not to worried though. im sure ill find him sooner or later. i think im going to get a mouse tonight and put it on a heat pad on the floor. i will also put a video camera out to see where he goes after. any other suggestions?

Computer cam sound like a good idea!

thanks!

computer cam is probably the smartest idea in my opinion, and be very careful when opening doors, windows etc

well i still cant find him and its been over 48 hours. what should i do? im getting worried!

anyone else have ideas?

look harder thats all i got for ya. look under his cage and tear apart the room his cage is in

If he's still in the house, it's gonna be somewhere dark, cramped, and warm.

I've heard to place a cardboard box in a room, then get a dead gerbil and use it to create a scent trail around the edges of the room then to the box.
