Chrissy Teigen shared a video on Instagram of the dramatic rescue of her missing pet hamster, Peanut Butter.
Teigen had originally posted multiple videos of the rescue on Instagram but after the successful operation, she compiled them all into a nearly four-minute video to post on IGTV. "rescue 911," She captioned the post. "peanut butter the hamster has been missing for 3 days. is he in the wall??? let's find out."
The video starts by explaining that Peanut Butter had been missing for three days before Teigen heard him in a wall in her house. The 35-year-old "Lip Sync Battle" host was alerted to the location of the hamster by hearing it scratching inside the walls. In the video, you could hear an unidentified person explaining that the scratching was Peanut Butter climbing up wires inside the hall.
After attempts to get into the wall with a screwdriver and a hammer failed, Teigen and her rescue crew chiselled a hole through the side of the wall and use seeds to persuade Peanut Butter to come out of the wall. Teigen then had to use a hamster ball to rescue Peanut Butter because he refused to leave the hole after receiving the seeds.

The end of the video shows Teigen laughing and holding Peanut Butter's hamster ball tight. Teigen and her husband, 12-time Grammy winner John Legend, have a lot of pets to look after alongside their two children Luna Simone, 5, and Miles Theodore, 3. According to People, the pair own a bearded dragon, four dogs, a hamster (Peanut Butter) and two birds.
The pair adopted Pearl, a Bassett Hound puppy, in July after announcing the death of their previous French bulldog on Instagram. The mansion in which they cut into to save Peanut Butter is worth $17.5 million according to Variety.
