I had a little gerbil once that I used to let out in the mornings for play time. He would come when I called him, and would run up and poke me in the ankles while I was getting ready to go to work. He escaped his cage one day while I was at work; we lived in a house that had long ago been converted to apartments, and he ended up inside a neighbor's walls. It did not end well

I hope your guy makes it back safely. It's very likely that he's holed up and sleeping someplace, and will come out at night looking for food.
