Gray dwarf hamster with blue ear dot, lost

Yesterday around 3pm I realized my gray dwarf hamster, Niko, is missing. I last saw him at home on West Cary Street; he may have slipped out during a quick break in cleaning. He’s the size of a ping-pong ball, with a soft gray coat and a tiny white belly. The blue dot on his left ear is a key identifier, plus a faint white stripe along his back. He’s been with us for nearly two years and my daughter is devastated—this little guy means a lot. If you see him around Carytown or near the Starbucks on West Cary Street, please message me here.
