Tonight, I was checking in on my ksb and I couldn’t find him! I keep him in a rack system, so to check on him, I just lift the tub up and look underneath to see his belly. Normally, I would leave him alone afterwards and not mess with him, but, when I couldn’t find his belly underneath, I checked his hides, and then dug through the bedding, only to find him not there! I use aspen bedding, and sifted through it very carefully multiple times to be sure, because some people say that they can hide easily in there.
Another note is that he’s very young and he hasn’t eaten for me yet (hence why I like to check up on him but not touch him or mess with him).
Also, I have absolutely no clue how he escaped! Since I last offered him food last Friday, I haven’t touched him at all. I have looked in his cage to see if he would eat the food that I left in there (he didn’t). Once, I saw him hanging out on top of the bedding. The last time I opened his enclosure was earlier today, and I wanted to change his water. I made sure to close his cage when I left the room to fill it. In addition, there’s no way he could have escaped his tub while it was closed (right?). The slit at the top is far too small for him to squeeze through, no matter how small he may be. Also, I doubt he could have climbed up to reach it in the first place! Although he could have “stood” on one of his hides, none of them are really close enough to the edge to allow that.
I’m completely at a loss! Does anyone have any suggestions? I’m so worried about him!
