Hamsters actually bathe themselves but not very well.You can get this product at a pet store called `Chinchilla dust` or sand and put it in a small pan and watch it roll around in it.It makes their fur shiny and healthy!If they have mites then bathe them in water if their vet says its ok

∙ 13y agowell, a hamster cleans itself, but if you want to give your hamster a bath you can. To give it a bath you softly wash its back, not the hamsters face, and rinse gently. You can do this i guess when ever you hamster get really dirty.

∙ 13y agoThey bathe by theirselves but if they have fleas or worms bathe them in water and soap but do not put their head under the water just their body and if their head needs cleaned then put them upside down and scratch his fur
If their coat is very dirty then get chinchilla sand. Chinchilla dust is bad for their lungs so only use chinchilla dust once in a while in a small pan.

∙ 11y agoYou shouldn't clean the actual hamster. If you're talking about the bedding, then you check for wet spots and such daily, and its best to change the bedding weekly. It's best to clean the actual cage monthly, with a safe detergent.
