[UPDATE! on mouse w/ picture...]

[Chilli]

UPDATE! Scroll down to post #11...

One of the male mice has gone missing.... :(
There isn't much hope.. since all three cats have been in my sister's room(where the males are kept) at some time or another today.
Also, it seems that he's been missing for sometime.. as he's already cleaned up some dropped food that was around the cage.

Kind of a pointless thread.. :( :( :(
His cagemate seems a bit confussed... poor little Pig.
I guess I just made this thread to ask for good thoughts of finding him alive... which is near impossible.. but it doesn't hurt to hope.

Poor mousie - hope he's okay somewhere!

[BC_MoM]

Oh no...poor thing! :( Hoping he's hiding somewhere safely from the cats - and that you'll stumble upon him (NOT ON HIM) sometime soon!

[k9krazee]

Awww :( I'm so sorry (((Hugs))) Any idea on how he got out?

[Freedom]

I never had one, so I don't know much about them. My cousin had a baby gerbil get out. Somehow she squeezed in under a switch plate. About 2 weeks after she went missing, they heard her squeaking behind the wood panelling in the dining room!!

The gerbil is fine, back in her cage. The dining room . . . well, they hope to have it back together for the holidays! :D

So I am wishing that something good will happen for you and your little one, as well.

[Chilli]

Thanks... no sign of him, though. :(

Any idea on how he got out?
Chewed a hole through some thinner plastic I hadn't noticed... I've moved the remaining guy into a different cage so he can't escape. I feel so horrid for not noticing the hole earlier. :( :(

Oh, don't feel bad! It's not your fault at all. I'm sure he's around there somewhere, just close the door and look around :) Try to keep the cats out as best as you can! My hamster likes hiding in closets, behind desks (as long as it's close to the wall and all snuggly!), and anywhere else where he's near squished, LOL. I would try putting the cage on the ground and putting some food in the cage. If he can't find somewhere to sleep he might find his nest and sleep in there, I've known some hamsters who do that. My friend had a gerbil that got away and they didn't find it for weeks, but they found it under their bed much later, although they doubted he was alive anymore, since they had cats and dogs. If he doesn't go into his cage try putting a tall bucket on the ground and have a ramp like thing leading to the top of it, so they climb up, fall in, and can't climb back out. Good luck and please keep us updated!

[Chilli]

Still no sign of the little guy. :(
Thanks for teh suggestions... but I'm pretty sure he hasn't stayed in that one room. Mice(or very young rats for that matter) can fit under the cracks of the doors in our house
He could be ANYWHERE in the house.

Have you been staying up at night listening for the slightest sound?
I don't want to scare you buy my hamster found a way into the wall and I heard him at night, so my dad had to take the whole wall down to get him out :eek: !

[Zippy]

Hope you find him. :( Poor Mouse.It isn't your fault things like this happen.

[Chilli]

UPDATE!
He's found! :D :D :D
I absolutely cannot believe my little guy is back safe and sound.. it seems like this is so impossible.
Of course, we all want to know how he was found, right^^?
Wellllll. At school today, during English, my sister text me and said she found him. Of course, I was ecstatic! :D During lunch I called her to get the details (cellphones aren't allowed in school... but who honestly follows those rules^^?). She said that she went downstairs to find Kayla(one of the cats) playing with something. It turned out to be our little mouse! O_O Yes! My sister quickly threw(not actually threw... you know what I mean) Kayla into the bathroom and shut all the animals out of the room. She cornerd the little guy and caught him... and looked him over. He has some bite marks on his ear.. and a big wound on his back. She said that he was soaking wet with cat slobber.
She didn't have time to treat any of his wounds, as she was already late for school, herself. She asked if I could check on him when I got home. Of course I would!! The first thing I did was go to my sister's room to cuddle and kiss the little guy and tell him how much he scared the hell out of me. ^__^ I treated his wounds.. only took one picture to show you guys.. then put him back in the cage, as he's still a bit shaken up by the whole ordeal. Now he's snuggled up next to Pig(his cagemate) and sleeping safe and sound.
Just think.. if it had been ANY of the other cats, he would have been dead. Kayla's still really young and hasn't gotten the hunting thing down pat.. she was just playing with the mouse.
So here is a new picture of the little escape artist.. I'll get new pictures of all five mice this weekend after everything is calm again:

((yesss. He's obese. :o))
I'm so happy this little guy is found!
So! I can rest easier tonight.

[BC_MoM]

He's beautiful.. I'm so happy he was found, and that Kayla hadn't hurt him more seriously! Silly little kitties.

[zoomer]

See, I told you the little guy would be found! He's such a cutie and I'm so glad he's okay! I hope his injuries heal soon and please keep us updated on those! I'm so glad he was found!!!!!!!!!! I would have been heartbroken if he wasnt.......

[Chilli]

Thanks, you two. =D
I don't even regret getting so worried about him... just the fact that our house is so big, and three cats + two dogs with a high prey drive toward small animals really got my mind to thinking.
It doesn't matter now. All that matters is that he's safe and back in his "home" again. :D

[Zippy]

Thank goodness you found him.He is a little cutie and a pray his wounds heal up nice and quick. :)

Did you get a new cage or repair that hole he had chewed out of?

[Chilli]

Thanks, Zippy. =)
He's cleaned himself well enough that he doesn't have any blood stains, and he's acting fine.

I put them in a spare cage for now.. I'll be buying them a new cage either today or this weekend.
