    Same thing happened to us with a hamster a couple of years ago. It went into the wall in the kitchen. It came out eventually after about three days of us worrrying ourselves sick-kids crying etc. We had to cut a hole in the plasterboard and tempt it out with food and water. When it did come out at three in the morning hubby nabbed it!

    Aghhh night is setting in and the poor thing is still under the shed. Its bloody freezing outside. What are his chances would you say?

    In response to putting a hole in the shed floor, my parents wont allow me, its an expensive shed.

    Funny u should mention cooking guinea pigs. the pet shop on parnell street says the majority of the customers who buy guinea pigs and hamsters are chinese. i cant help but think that the creatures are not kept as household pets by them.

    Me neither. If they are buying them in large quantities it's more likely they are building an army to take over the western world.

    Get a stick, put it under the shed at one end and then pull it along at ground level slowly to the far end of the shed.. This should nudge him out??

    I like the tunnel idea also..

    You cant leave him in there all night!

    A bit of chewing-gum on the end of a stick. A mars-bar might do the trick as well.

    something likthis happened me with my hamster before.. got a nice new small hamster..small enough to infact fit out through the bars in the cage..so when i woke up one morning he was gone..he had gone down a hole in the wall behind my warddrobe..so yea i basically thought yea he's a gonner ill go get me another hamster(id only had him two days ok we hadn't bonded yet so i got over it fast) yea so i get my new hamster and walk into the room and see my other one flying across the floor down the whole again..so he was down there for about a week i put food and bedding out hoping he'd stay and make a bed during the nigth instead he just took the bedding into the whole with him!!(smart hamster i must admit) finally got a friendly mouse trap thing and caught the bugger..in his week away from us he had turned into some monster he hissed at me and everything if u tried to pick him up he'd latch onto ur finger and would not let go..He was so evil, after his adventure we renamed him rambo...
    yea well my contribution is to try get a friendly mousr trap amybe a rat trap seen as its a guinea pig(can u get a friendly rat trap eh i dunno)
    hopefully u get him out soon.. oh god i hope its not cold out tonight..

    Sorry to hear about the poor GP's predicament, it's not that cold out tonight and even if it does rain, the guinea pig will be sheltered under the shed.
    Loving this thread so far (sorry op).

    Poor little fella will get chewing gum stuck to his coat. A bit of velcro on the end of that stick and you're sorted.

    OP, you could place a big sheet of tinfoil under there and use one of those click lighters to shock him out. :p

    Or the food thing, that might be nicer. Don't forget to light a fire under your shed to keep him warm tonight.

    Aw bless op, I hope he's okay, if it makes you feel any better I had a hamster years ago that got loose and went under the floorboards of our house.
    Little fecker appeared a few days later a bit dusty but grand all the same!
    I hope your guinea pig has a similar adventure... let me know how you get on :)

    The Lemmiwinks episode of South Park has just started on MTV1.

    The OP may want to watch it.

    Wouldn't it be cheaper to buy steak? Unless they're breeding them.....

    Didn't bother reading to the end...

    Try a humane rat trap cage, the type of cage where the rodent enters but cant exit, stick in some lettuce carrots or whatever they eat. Then wait, wait, wait.

    Get the kid from captain planet to help you. You know the pussy kid who had the heart ring. He should be able to get your guinea pig out for you. He'll probably want to fúck it afterwards though. On another note, what a shít power he had. What's he gonna do to the bad guy? Hug them to death? Pussy.

    Try getting some sweet smelling fruit and putting in a bucket with one of those hamster ladders and he'll find his way into it. Always worked for me and my hamster was so lazy he never bothered climbing ladders but he did when there was a reward.

    Oh and if that doesn't work get a vacumm cleaner and try and nab him from the back.

    And if that doesn't work buy a hamster and send him under the shed too.

    Still under the shed sadly, but at least a fox didnt eat it.He came out from underneath the shed but my dog came bounding towards it, so it dashed back under it again. Haven't seen it in 6 hours or so. One step forwards, two steps back, grrrr.

    The hoover would probably kill it. It would suck it eyeballs out or damage his little foot. I bought a trap in woodies this morning so fingers crossed.

    :)

    i have two ideas



    1,burn down the shed



    2,a car jack to lift it up a little but that might end up with a post from your mother saying her child is stuck under a shed in which case see number 1:D
