I cannot imagine how I would feel if my munchkins escaped. My heart goes out to you. Don't beat yourself up, not many of us can out run a fert. I really hope you find him soon. A couple of ideas to help get Eppy back: -V I S I T, not phone, the shelters within a 15 mile radius - D A I L Y. I have heard horror stories of shelters not knowing it was your baby they actually had. To many people one fert looks like another. -Keep a cage with their food, hammies, etc. on your porch, you may wake up to a surprise. -Get signs and flyers up quickly, put them everywhere you can think of -Place flyers on the doorsteps of your neighbors within several blocks Good luck - don't give up on him. People on this list have found their fuzzies weeks after they escaped. Kim the Oregon one Kim Reyes John L.
