No, it is not safe to wash your hamster with hand soap and water. Hamsters are prone to dry skin and their fur has natural oils that help keep them clean. Using soap and water can strip these oils, leading to skin problems and other health issues. It's best to let hamsters groom themselves through regular sand baths or seek veterinary advice if there are specific concerns.
