HELP!!!!!!!!My degu escape !!!!!!!!

[Grace]

My degu opened the door of its cage and ran away. I noticed it because my mom saw my degu and screaming in front of my room,and my degu ran away.when I came there,Yukichi was gone.To make matters worse, my dad doesn't like my degu,I think he will kill my degu!!!
Do anyone know how to find and catch it?
I have many classes today,I don't have enough time to find it,I need catch my Yukichi now!😔
Last question, the country of I living is hot,and my parents don't let me put my degues in my room, so how can I keep their cages cool?

If you can find Yukichi, the best way to catch him is in a cardboard tube, or a box like a shoe box, maybe with a hole cut in the side.
If you have to go out lay a box on its side and put lots of scrunched up paper and some food in it so that it might attract Yukichi as a safe place to hide.

For cooling you can buy cool packs or use chunky tiles or rocks in rotation in the frideg/freezer and the cage, make sure they can't chew any purchased cool packs.

Try to say calm. Right now, your degu will be scared and trying to hide. He is not trying to get out of the house (but make sure there are no ways he might accidentally do so), he is simply scared and feels that he is in danger. He will probably not want to be held right now, so you will have to be very careful to not frighten him.

Yuenchi is probably going to try to hide under furniture or something like that, and will be moving about very slowly and carefully. If you do not have any idea where he might be in the house, move very carefully and listen to possible noises, keep looking at the floor, and lower yourself down so you can see under furniture etc.

If there is some container they are used to, use that for what Molette suggest. Put some bedding from the cage into the box, because the smell will make him feel it is safe there.

You can try to attract him to you with treats (especially if he recognizes some sound that relates to them), but he may be too scared to come for them immediately.

Have you found him?

Your goo will be scared and hungry. Try putting a cardboard box or tube down with some nesting material, food, and a bowl of water down, perhaps in your room, and leave the door open. When they think they can sneak in, I suspect they'll make their way in.

It sounds like your goo knows your scent!

I know it means leaving your room door open for a while, but I think you'd prefer that to the alternatives!

So happy your little goo has been found
