Gray dwarf hamster with blue collar and blaze
Description
I lost my gray dwarf hamster yesterday around 3pm near the Walmart on Zebulon Road in Macon. He's the size of a ping-pong ball, with soft gray fur and a little white blaze on his chest, and he wears a light blue plastic collar with a tiny silver bell that still jingles when he moves. There’s a small notch in his left ear and a moon-shaped patch on his right hind leg—two quirks that help identify him. He’s really gentle but skittish with loud noises, and I’m worried he wandered off into the nearby yards and stores along the Zebulon Road strip. If you found him, please drop me a note in the app; he’s my little buddy and means the world to me.

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.
