Almost missing

12th October 2010 Tuesday

Baby stayed in camp on Sunday & Monday night. Today we went home excitedly, I ran to boyboy's 'house' to find him missing. I couldn't believe my eyes. I looked into the tunnel toy, toilet roll, behind the wheel, in his wooden house (his wooden house is surprisingly EMPTY - he love to stuff tissue and beddings in there), i look into every possible places. I always imagined going to his 'house' finding him stiff and dead. This time round, i couldn't even see his body at all! I shouted to baby. He came over, flip the beddings and confirmed my fear. Boyboy ESCAPED! I am almost near to tears but didn't show it to baby as i know he is as sad. 

We pulled out baby's heavy bed, took away the mattress hoping to find him under the bed, no signs of boyboy. Bent down to look at every corner. Suddenly i saw boyboy in between baby's bed & the shelf we got from ikea for boyboy! Naughty! the moment i saw him, he is so cute! He is so timid, and ran away from us to hide at a corner. NAUGHTY! I just want to smack his buttocks! We suspect he climb his water bottle and escape through the 2cm by 2cm hole! Hamsters are real clever creatures! 

 When we went out for dinner earlier on, we bought this plastic mesh thing, cut it and replaced the lid/cover of his tank. Take no risk...

We came home, took out everything in his 'house' and give it a good wash with white vinegar, soap, water. changed the bedding. Boyboy must be in shock himself too. (at least he stayed in baby's room, and not roaming around the house!) Bought him a carrier that i've been wanting to buy since day 1.

Its been a tiring day for baby :((
Mentally and physically.
