A flock of flirting flamingos is pure, passionate, pink pandemonium-a frenetic flamingle-mangle-a discordant discotheque of delirious dancing, flamboyant feathers, and flamingo lingo.
The clips were on tight so my guess is idiot neighbor picked up cage without holding from bottom and bottom dropped out. Or they were playing with it and it got away. Nice neighbor behind us did a great job with her.

Aww, that is a bummer. Did they say what happened? Hamsters are very good at hiding, but will come out to get food after a few days.
I hope things work out.
They offered to go buy a new one but the boys are too old to fool into thinking "fluffy changed colors (and shrank) as she got older" so I said I would take the boys to pick out a new one...but yes, they did offer. They also seemed distraught over what happened.
The girl behind me took good care of it. But she was leaving on vacation, so I asked the neighborhood for someone who could care for it Wednesday until our return today. So Wednesday, the girl took it over to the people across the street who volunteered and emailed me that everything was great, her son loved the hamster, and it was now in the hands of the neighbor.
My gut told me that the idiot across the street would have problems. I remember when she got her dog. She never had a dog before and was surprised they were so much work. Her husband works at the same company as my DH, but in different departments. He asked DH last week if they could let it run around like a guinea pig. DH told him NO, it would run away. I should have trusted my instincts, but I was in a bit of a pickle and really didn't want to take her with us. As it turned out, when we arrived at the beach house the owner was there so I'm glad we didn't have her with us (no pets allowed).
