Tiny gray dwarf hamster with white belly
Description
I lost my tiny gray dwarf hamster, Nibbles, yesterday around 4pm near the Mall del Norte on Del Mar Boulevard in Laredo. He's about the size of a toonie, with soft gray fur, a white belly, bright black eyes, and a tiny pink nose. There’s a small white heart-shaped patch on his chest, and he wears a blue harness with a little bell. I last saw him by the pet store entrance near the food court. This little guy was a Christmas gift from my grandma, so I’m really worried and just want him back safe—if you spot him, please message me and we can arrange a pickup near Mall del Norte.

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.
