Gray dwarf hamster with white belly near Brighton Dome
Description
Hey, I lost my gray dwarf hamster yesterday around 3pm in Brighton. He’s a tiny fluffball, about the size of a ping-pong ball, with soft gray fur and a white belly, and he has a small white patch on his right ear plus a tiny nick on his left front paw—easy to spot if you find him. Last I saw him, he was near the Brighton Dome on Church Street, just off New Road, darting into the alley behind the souvenir stalls. He looked a bit dusty and startled, but he’s otherwise healthy and loves sunflower seeds. I’m really worried—this little guy means a lot to me, and I’d be forever grateful if you text me if you’ve seen him.

How to safely get your item back
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.
Verify the finder before meeting
- Ask them to describe a detail not shown in your listing, such as an engraving, scratch, or contents.
- Request a clear photo of the item from an angle you did not post.
- Do not pay any release, shipping, or storage fee.
- Do not share your full address until you have verified them.
Meet in a safe, public place
- Police stations, café entrances, transport hubs, and shop foyers all work.
- Meet during daylight hours where there is CCTV and foot traffic.
- Avoid private homes, car parks at night, or isolated locations.
Bring someone with you
- Tell a friend or family member where you are meeting and when.
- Share your live location with them during the handoff.
- For high-value items, consider contacting your local police station for advice first.
Keep communication on lostandfound.io
- Use the in-app message thread so there is a record if something goes wrong.
- Do not move to WhatsApp, SMS, or email until you have exchanged a verifying detail.
- Never share bank details, government ID numbers, or copies of your ID.
