Got up this morning to search the usual hiding places and then that feeling of fear and panic struck when I realised he's missing. I removed everything except the background in hope he is hiding behind it. Otherwise I fear that he's squeezed through the glass as I forgot to put the spine protector on.

Can't search for him now as have a 16 hour shift ahead. Fingers crossed for when Ipok when I get home people

Thanks all for the advice, here is the new hide I've made. I had to take it out again though as a little of the paint was not dry and got onto George. Poor thing had to have a bath.

Will make sure its dry for good this time

If you have a bigger hide, you could also scrunch up newspaper into tight balls to make it smaller, did that with Kellogs at first till she got bigger, was in it all the time

Like Thorne Walker said, maybe a small size hide would make George feel more secure; they like to feel the cave walls close to them apparently. Now he can't hide behind the backround he will probably appreciate a subsitutive tiny hide :)

so glad you found george and all sorted in the end :). Rubi likes to go behind the background alot. I was going to glue but decided not to worry in the end as was told would stop when got bigger. Plus she can still get in from the vent hoes ive cut in it anyways.

I'm so pleased you found George. Your setup looks lovely!

looks good to me
Welshlamb Posted - 08/11/2012 : 12:10:24
Will definitely get some smaller hides
Thorne Walker Posted - 08/11/2012 : 06:48:20
Well.. George was likely hiding behind the background because it was a small tight space. He looks like he'd still fit in 2 cupped hands and both of those hides are much bigger than that.

Monster is fond of an old tube sock with a loo roll in the top of it, he curls up in the stretchy part of the toe.

Kitty hangs out in a chocolate box that is just about '1 Kitty' tall and small enough he can just turn around in and one end of a kitchen roll tube.



IMO you should look for smaller hides.

Thank you everyone for the concern. I have made ammendments to my setup. Hopefully it wont happen again.

Here's what I did (pic heavy sorry)

I glued the background to the back and resealed all the velcro for the grass rug



Then I resealed the rug



Then put the rug back in after its been cleaned


Then put George back safe and sound in his resecured home. I hope this time he cant find a way out.



If you spot anything please give me a shout, I really appreciate the advice.

Great news!

Just had a phone call and George is back. Absolutely made up now. He must have been hiding behind the background I will now fill the gaps with hot glue. Thank you for support
