My husband and I had a female mali we took with us yesterday to visit family. She was fine all day until the very minute we were getting in the car to go home. His brother wanted to have a look at her, so my husband opened the container, reached in and picked her up. She immediately started scratching and moving trying to get away, and jumped right out of his arms. She hit the ground running, went under my car, and wasn't seen again after that. We searched for over an hour trying to find her with no results. Sadly, we had to go home without her.

I need to know if anyone has any information or resouces you could point me to to let me know if anything can be done about my run away uro. I feel terrible that she's gone...

I have no idea about trying to find her, but out of curiosity, what kind of travel container did you have her in, and what kind of heat source did she have while away from her regular home to keep her warm?

She was in a large plastic container, I think they're called Critter Haven or something like that. We took heat lamps that we had set up inside during our visit...
