yes but put a little water up to your nail on your finger tip
From my experience, a lukewarm bath will do a rodent no harm, but they don't like it; my pet rats used to scratch the arms off me. You can even get special rodent shampoo as well!

No because hamsters clean theirselves. They lick themselfs and kick off the dirt off their fur well... if you put the smallest amount of water in a sink, they wont like it but they will be ok! but just put a tiny,tiny bit of water... so it covers half of your fingernail

Definitely, you should never get a hamster wet, since it can catch pneumonia.

Yes you can give most hamsters baths, but there are a few very important rules. . Make sure the water is not to warm and not to cold. . don't fill up the sink (or what ever thing your giving your hamster a bath in) to high. . If your hamster can not swim (usually hamsters will swim) then take them out of the bath imidietly because it might drown.
