you cant tell if just one hamster takes dust baths. most types of hamsters do take dust baths, try it out.
WITH DUST?!
No! Is just their way of getting clean and matt free. Dust baths are highly recommended.
Gerbils do not require dust baths like Chinchillas. If you are able to get a gerbil to try it then use a dust bath formula from a pet store. In my experience they don't like baths.
Rabbits should never be given baths. Getting a rabbits coat completely wet will ruin its fur. Rabbits are much like cats in that they bathe themselves.
DO NOT wash them with water! They will freeze and get hypothermia. You should give them dust baths. You can buy them at pet stores. Dust baths are basically kind of powdery substance, dusty stuff... lol. You can get a bowl or get a place to put the dust and they can clean by themselves.
hibernation, specially built cheek pouches, take dust baths
Yes, because they may get dirty from sitting in their poo and shedding fur.
