One of the most common questions I receive is: "Should I bathe my hamster?" The answer is NO.
A hamster should never be washed, since hamsters keep themselves clean. If you bathe a hamster, it would catch a cold and die.
Hamsters produce their own natural oils to maintain the condition of their fur and will spend a long time grooming. So I would not recommend bathing a hamster since it will not enjoy it and bathing may make the hamster's fur look worse. If your hamster smells bad then you should clean the cage more frequently.
Avoid looking at videos of hamsters being washed, since it is only cruel to wash a hamster. Hamsters will not love being bathed and they would die of a cold.

I would avoid bathing a hamster at all. All though many people say they can swim it is not advised to bath them. If you absolutely have to I would to it is a small bowl of warm water and use a tiny bit of baby shampoo. Don't leave them in for very long, and once finished dry them with a towel not a hairdryer. Make sure they are completely dry before returning them to their cage.
Water can actually kill a rodent, so I wouldn't recommend bathing your hamster. However, I think they sell a certain type of dust, like chinchilla dust that you could bathe your pet in.
No you are not required to but if you want to i recommend giving it a sand bath
you dont give hamsters bathes but if you mean a hamsters cage a mild dish soap will be fine
ivory or any kind of bar soap.
dove soap :)
You can use any mild soap when you have chickenpox.
Horse soap
The hamster was allergic to the shampoo/soap you bathed it with
The cheapest kind he or she can find
A good car wash soap, it doesn't leave spots, dish soap will.
Yes, but be sure to wash it off very well so that the hamster doesnt smell it and lick the cage walls and floor, otherwise it could get sick.
Pet shampoo. Mild dish soap.
baby shampoo
It is a winter hamster
Use corn syrup and some kind of soap like laundry soap.
