    Not sure how big he is but putting him in a 12g cube is probably not the best way to save him. If he's bigger than an inch or two, I'd try to find a friend or an LFS that could take him tonight or tomorrow.

    Though a 12g is a much better choice than the toilet bowl so K+ for trying to help him out.
