This is actually quite common. Now brace yourself, but I'm afraid you're going to have to face the fact that you will have to buy a new hoover.

well if this was 4 hours ago.i'm thinking not much..what kind of fool does this anyway?say a little prayer for him..

I had this happen to our pet cornsnakes. They got out of their cage, not vacumbed up. As the other people have said, you will have to take the Hoover apart. My best help is going to be try to have another person to help hold the hoover whilst you try to locate the hamster. Get ready to catch it when you open the hoover. If you vacumbed any possible items that could hurt the hamster (as in glass, cat litter, anything that if the hamster nibbled on could kill it). Take the hamster to the vet if you are really worried. Otherwise goodluck and pray about it.

---

um set the hoover to blow then try and blow it out if not take the hoover apart and find the little devil and make sure its cage is secure but give it a little treat for not killing itself (hamsters can kill themselves with the right equipment)

---

shoot the hoover

---

I really hope that you are joking if not then dismantle your hoover its murder if you dont!!
