Thanks for the replies about what could get a loose gerbil to come back and be cornered. Most mentioned peanut butter, some sunseeds. However, my two escapees just sort of laughed at me, sniffed from afar, and went about their business, which didn't include 'going home' apparently. As for using their mates/partners to get them to come close enough to be snared; most are recently paired up and that didn't work. :( The last one showed it's face to a friend that is rather rodent-hating; and I was summoned quickly for summary rodent removal...and it had been 'stupid' enough to run behind a desk where I cornered it. So my DEW is now back with her mate; and a little duct tape will get the point across, she's supposed to stay home in the wee hours of the morning. Again, thanks. Deb Rebel's Rodent Ranch
