My ball escaped somehow and i CANNOT FIND HIM ANYWHERE!we have him in a room and there is NO WAY of getting out. not even through the vent. my husband tore it out just to be sure and nothing. i searched the room 5 times and NOTHING! please any insight will help. do they go towards heat? can they get under the carpet? please and thank you!

You will find them ANYWHERE and EVERYWHERE. Just keep looking, put out a prey item, put a hot spot out, put flour on the ground (where possible) to see if it moved.

I feel asleep while i had my 4' ball out (::tisk:: i know) and when i woke up an hour and a half later >poof!< he was gone. That was about 3 days ago and i just found him today. He was in a dresser, BEHIND one of the drawers... tricky..

The flour idea is a really good one. another suggestion is to put newspaper across the floor, so if you sleep in the room you might hear it go across...

good luck, im sure it will turn up eventually, just keep the door to the room closed

Check in places that you don't think it could squeeze into. If the room has any upholstered chairs, couches, mattresses, check them thoroughly.

I have had 4 break-outs the last few months. All i do is wait to night and then look with a flashlight. They come out at night, so its pretty easy to find them. Hope this helps... John
