First shut all the doors in the house, you dont know what room shes in...then put the cage on the floor with the door open so she can get in.......then put 10 pieces of sunflower seeds in each room, and check them every few hours to see if the hamster has eaten any, the room that is missing the seeds is the room with the hamster in it.......THEN put a tall bucket with food and soft bedding in the bottom of it with a ramp leading into the bucket so when the hamster gets hungry it will go up the ramp into the bucket landing in the soft bedding and not being able to get out
hope it all works out
Source(s): experience, im 15 and have had many hamster escapes in the past 4 years this method always works, it even helped me catch an escaped hamster in my school - Venice GirlLv 61 decade ago
If you have a hamster loose, there are several ways to recapture it. You might be lucky enough to see it in the evening, or hear it scrabbling around in something. In this case, clear away everything from around where you saw it disappear, then start removing things [and checking them for concealed hamsters] until it pops out of somewhere.
Grab fast and expect to be bitten. Havahart makes tiny little live traps which you can usually get at you local hardware store. Bait them with peanut butter and CHECK THEM EVERY HOUR! They are a bit small for a full-grown hamster, so you want to get them out as soon as possible. Another way to trap an escaped hamster is to put a box the hamster can't climb out of against the wall, near cover. Now build a staircase of books up to each side of the box, and put some of the hamster's cage bedding, food, water, and peanut buttter [which they can smell from quite a distance] inside. The next morning, you will most likely have your hamster back.

Hmm tricky, only thing i can think of is to use a humane mouse trap. The ones that trap them but don't kill them. Put some treats at the end and check regularly. Hamsters when they escape tend to go towards the nearest wall, and run along there. So check corners that are near where the cage is, and check even the smallest of spaces as they can flatten their body and fit through gaps half their size

Put a cat on a leash and see if it can find it. Or use food, specifacilly sweets. They can smell sweets the easiest and are the most attracted to them.
