Ain't Nobody Here Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 (edited) After escaping a few weeks ago and ending up inside the back of our piano (not easy to get out but a lucky grab got him eventually ), Oscar's done it again. Came down this morning and as OH and I were standing by the piano, all we could hear was "plink, plink, twang" . Sounded like a ghost in the piano . Thank goodness we knew it was Oscar . Anyway, here he is being lured by the little drops he loves - I sneaked up behind (well my hand did) and managed to grab him - whew .

new_minilops Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Haha!! I had a hamster, Roland, who escaped once and managed to get under the floorboards, we only realised when we could hear little feet running under ours!! The floorboards ran the whole width of the house so figuring out which strip he was under then getting him out was fun!! Ended up ripping up a floorboard in my room and coaxing him out with treats - his usual lovely blonde fur was black though!!!! My brothers hamster liked to escape too and we found her eating her way through a WHOLE easter egg once!!! They are great little characters!!!

Redwing Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 It never fails to amaze me how tiny animals can have such massive personalities (sp? - its late!) Its a good job you heard him - he could have been in there for weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mostin Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 I love your stories of Oscar's adventures. You never know where he's going to turn up next do you . He is so adorable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ain't Nobody Here Posted February 8, 2009 Author Share Posted February 8, 2009 Oh my word, he's done it again . ES came down this morning and immediately noticed his cage door was open . Moment of panic (again ) but we've got the measure of the little varmint . Opened the piano lid and there he was . Quick grab and he's back home . Don't know who left the door open (or when) . Might have been me . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickvic Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Many moons ago when we had a hamster, we had to peg the cage door shut because he always escaped too He had a tall cage with a door at the top and bottom so we used bright coloured pegs and we knew at a glance if they were both shut - which was essential with 3 cats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HENthusiastic Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Thats fab. What a great chap he is. Fancy him always going to the piano. Perhaps you should give him lessons?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted February 8, 2009 Author Share Posted February 8, 2009 I have actually considered sending Oscar instead of YS to the weekly keyboard lessons . He does more practice after all . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkshire Pudding Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 I have actually considered sending Oscar instead of YS to the weekly keyboard lessons . He does more practice after all . that sounds very familiar! Reminds me of the musical cat someone posted on here a while ago - the one who played the piano (but not from the inside!).
