Lost hamsters near Union Street, Aberdeen
Description
At 6:45 pm yesterday, I realized my two hamsters were gone from their cage in our flat on West North Street, Aberdeen. I searched the living room and kitchen, calling Gizmo and Nibbles and rattling their treat jar, but they vanished behind the sofa by the radiator near the window. They’re tiny and quick: one gray with a white stripe, the other a warm tan, both curious and friendly when I offer a sunflower seed treat. I’m anxious and hopeful they’re safe, especially around the Union Street and Bon Accord Centre area, and I’d be grateful if anyone spotted little paws skittering about these spots. I hope they’re found soon and brought back to their home.

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.
