Found a stray hamster, what do I do?
Found a stray hamster earlier this evening and don't know what to do. We've given him some cat biscuits and placed him in an old fish tank. We have two cats and no lid for the fish tank. We've placed tissues and shredded paper along with a ramekin of water in the fish tank.
The fish tank is large.
No chance to go ask the street if they've lost a hamster due to it being 20 past 10.
What can we do for the night?

Keep it in the tank but make sure it cant get out for the night but then put up found hamster signs. Dont mess with it cuz it might bite. Hamsters eat fruit so you can give it that and of course they love cheese, just drop some food in the tank and it will eat. If you have cotton or stuffing the hamster will love to play in it. Some like sticks to chew on and also a toilet paper tube goes a long way as far as playing.

OK make sure it has something over the top because IT CAN escape maybe a lid to a plastice box, or if you have like a moving box put holes in it with a knife make sure they are small cuz hamsters are really smart also to eat you can give him or her broccoli or carrots maybe lettuce or something similar

it will be fine in a fishtank (dry) for the evening. but i agree... how in the hell did you find a stray hamster? dont leave it in the tank for too long (months) b/c of a lack of oxygen/damp lungs.
