You CANNOT give Dwarf Hamsters a bath. It can cause respiratory problems, and because of how small they are, they can die from them. What you CAN do though, is buy special Rodent Sand from a pet store. They love to dig and play in it, plus, you can get sand that smells good, if the reason you want to give your Dwarf Hamster a bath is because it smells bad (I know mine does). Make sure you get the SAND not the DUST.

∙ 12y agoBathing removes natural and essential oils from the hamster's coat, which can cause the hamster to catch a chill and die. Bathing should only be done in exceptional circumstances, like if your hamster has paint, varnish or anything toxic on its coat that may harm it if it licks itself or ingests it. The hamster will clean itself if it is dirty and the substance is not toxic.
yes, but it might get a cold
