Hamsters do not need to be bathed. They are very clean animals, plus you may endanger their health. Never wash your hamster. All hamsters do a very good job of cleaning themsleves. If it is an emergency (something stuck in the fur) you can cut it out, if the hair is long enough, or you can dab your hamster with some warm water. If your hamsters fur is matted, you can brush your hamster with a tooth brush. (They really like that!) Also, you can fill a glass tank with some chinchilla sand (found at any pet store) and let them roll around in that, which also works well and wont cause any health problems. Please make sure it is chinchilla sand because if it is not, it can cause numerous health problems.
