Coco got out sometime last nite. She's good an ussually comes back and responds to me. But i havent seen any sign of her. I'm not too worried. i know she is in only my room. And I know she'lll come back.

When she gets thirsty, she'll try and go home, right?

Like i said, im not worried. Im just wonderin...has anyone here had a rat that got loose and not return?

only a hamster, who was a strange hamster, she was more like a rat. she was very affectionate but she never came back and we found her a few months after. i was heartbroken. the coinsidence was her name was coco after coco chanel. =] But i'm sure she'll be back. did you try tapping on the floor or leaving out treats? thats normaly how i find mine.

Nah, i looked a little for her but she alwas come back. and i just got home 1 at nite and there she is in her cage. I never had much concern. i just wanted to know if anyone lost a rat for good.

One of my rats, Kiwi, gets out fairly often and ends up making her way back. The antisocial or new ones are the ones that are hard to find... The sweeties just act like they are having a long free roam time and wander out when they get hungry...

Have you found her?

 

[chrisstrikeagain]

Yeah, at 1am. She was in her cage. Shes a good girl and always return.

one of my girls, april, got out once. she got into bathroom and chewed a hole in the bath panel. then she stayed in the cavity of the all and we couldnt get her, we tried alsorts of traps and ways to get her out. in the end i had to buy a humane rat trap an get her! she was in thre for a week, she looked all scraggy wen we got her back!! she was healthy tho i made sure she had water

My templeton hid in the bathroom wall for a week, I tried leaving food in a bucket to trap him but he always got out and lefta trail of food. Everyday I knew hed come out because Id see the toilet paper strung around and such, we finally tricked him after a week, he was spooked for a few days and then calmed down

Im scared to let my rats free roam. i have alot of dangerous shelves and wires and my room is quite cluttered lol. I let them run around the bathroom for an hour or so on some days.
