Description
I lost my two hamsters in my Blacksburg apartment on North Main Street around 9:15 p.m. Friday when the cage door slipped and they bolted, vanishing behind the radiator in the living room. One is a small gray hamster with a white belly; the other is tan with a dark stripe along the back. I adopted them from a shelter a few months ago, and they’ve brought a lot of light and noise to my evenings. I’m terrified they’ll hide for days, so I’m hoping someone spotted them quietly wandering near the Drillfield and North Main Street.

How to safely get your item back
A short checklist to protect you and the item during the handoff.

Meet in a safe, public place

- 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
