Stay calm. Make sure all the toilet seat lids are down. Do not do any laundry until you find him. Check all the seat cushions...remember that gliders like tiny, warm places to curl up! Make sure any other pets are put up, so that they cannot get to him. Does he like mealies? Mine will generally come running if I shake a container of mealworms with the lid off. Check shoes, closets, etc.--just be very, very careful! Take no trash outside--he could be in a bag.

Just remember that he probably won't be coming out until night. Make sure you're home tonight when he wakes up. Good luck! I hope you find him soon.

dont forget to check all windows, shut all doors and make sure anyone entering your home (roommates etc) know that he is out and to be aware of open windows and doors.

Cydni, try to keep it as still and quiet as possible in the whole house. Sit still and listen. Whatever time he normally wakes up, that's the time you'll want to be listening for him. Put mealworms in a pouch and set it on the floor, as well as food and water; and keep his cage open. When you do see him, don't move!!! Let him go to the food dish, and if everything is really still, he'll probably head for either the pouch (to get the mealies) or his cage. (If you don't have mealies, try some other treat he really likes.)

In shoes too. Under pillows and cushions. What Snusie said is true though. If you're really quite you can usually hear them. Attracting them with food is the best plan because they are going to come out for their evening meal anyway so be prepared. Leave a rope or something hanging from the cage to the floor so he can climb back into his cage if he doesn't go into the pouch you leave on the floor. Be careful where you walk in the night time as he may come running at you as you are walking.

Good Luck and keep us posted.

I am so glad to hear this! I'm sure everyone else is also! I had an escapee a few weeks ago, but thank God that I was able to get her back in her cage! Take good care of the little guy and inspect the cage for sturdyness. Make sure he gets liquids and food!

now go zip tie or otherwise secure all the doors on the cage - He'll try it again now that he has found a way to go play out side the cage.

I left the twist lock (sort of a reusable twist tie) off the Rascal's cage when I redecorated it for Halloween. At 2 am I had a glider barking in the cage and one in my room barking back! I checked the cage and there were 3 in the cage and 3 running around outside. Either three of them figured out how to open the small slide up door that was unlocked, or one of them was very polite and held the door for the other two!

Thankfully, one of the girls in the cage objected to missing the fun and barked to tell on the escapees!

TWIST LOCK for cage door.
