Lost & found small mammals in Colorado Springs

Found gray hamster with blue collar

I found a tiny gray hamster with a blue collar wandering under a parked cart near the Target on Academy Boulevard in Colorado Springs this afternoon around 3:15. The little guy is grape-sized, with soft gray fur and a white belly, plus a blue collar with a tiny silver bell and a crescent-shaped white patch behind his left ear. He seemed a bit skittish at first, but settled in a spare hamster cage I keep for pet-sitting, nibbling a cucumber slice I offered. If this is your hamster, please reply here so we can arrange a safe meetup near Garden of the Gods Visitor Center or another convenient spot in Colorado Springs.
