Lost & found small mammals in La Crosse

Gray Syrian hamster with white belly, lost near Riverside Park

I lost my gray Syrian hamster yesterday around 3pm. His name is Niko, and he has a white belly and a small crescent-shaped scar on his left hind leg; he also has a tiny white patch on his right ear. He was last seen in La Crosse near Riverside Park, along the paved path by the boat launch, not far from the carousel and the public restrooms. He’s incredibly friendly but skittish, and this little guy means a lot to me—it’s a gift from my late grandmother and a reminder of happier times. If anyone spotted him, please reach out; I’m really hoping to bring him home soon.
