I've lost two of these so far. They are very prone to jumping. I lost both from them jumping through the egg crate. Check everywhere around the floor.

same here,
I think it possible jumped and the dog got ahold of it.

Yep, either jumped or hiding under some rock, or when digging a new home, could have caused a collapse of some rock on top of itself.

if the tank isn't covered, more then likely it jumped and flopped around on the floor...

in my nano cube, i have had them jump into the back filtration compartment...
