No, A chemical reaction from the fibers in their fur and h2o cause the hamster to spontaneously combust. The burning starts from their insides out, and is quiet awful for the hamster to experience usually quick. However, if you have a larger hamster the pressure from the water cause's all the air in the hamster to rise to its head, and cause's the head to implode. If you are caught doing this act to a hamster you can face up a minimum jail sentence of 5 years and a $7,000 fine with a maximum of 25 years and $20,000 fine. It's better to rape the hamster then put it in water, and the only way they can drink water is because the hamster has a coating of saliva in the mouth, which in it has 73% acid, allowing water to pass thru the hamster.

There is hamster sickness called 'Wet Tail', if that's what you mean. Wet-tail, also know as Proliferative ileitis, is a stress-related bacterial disease. It occurs in many small animals such as hamsters, etc. It is usually contracted when your pet gets stressed, usually when you first get the pet. The hamster you get could already have Wet-tail though, yet not all the symptoms are noticeable. Once a pet gets Wet-tail, they should never be bred, as it could cause more stress, and the Wet-tail could be inherited by the offspring.

No, they cannot. Hamsters aren't supposed to be emerged in water. It is unnatural for them and can get them sick. If your hamster smells, get it a dust/sand bath. Normally, hamsters clean themselves so it isn't necessary.

Yes, if you let it soak in cold, deep water. You can clean your hamster in warm water, or in a damp cloth.
