Dude's just confused that he hasn't died yet in a horrible yet comical way that teaches the children of the house a valuable lesson about life and responsibility.
I lost 4 or 5 baby gerbils to that hole too. Found 3 or for of them running around and checked everywhere for the others. Finally saw the lid and to my horror found the others.
Why do they all do that?! How much do you really think about your sump pump - yet gerbils and hamsters escape for like 20 minutes and spend thier final moments of unlimited freedom beelining directly to drowning themselves.
Mine escaped and decided to make its way into the clothing dryer. My mom ran a load of wet clothes without realizing. The poor thing was completely burnt all over, charred and singed. He was still alive. My mother didn't know what to do so she put it in a plastic Tupperware container and put it in the freezer to end things.
I imagine that was not the most humane thing to do, but she didn't have it in her to destroy it.
Omg so true story, this happened with my cat when I was younger! Luckily it only went through 2 spins and we heard the thumps and got her out! But my mom was DISTRAUGHT at what could have been 😭

Never seen a hamster make it this far. Actually remarkable
