Put the dust inside a container and fill it with enough dust to roll around in. Leave the container inside the cage for about 15-30 minutes or so and then remove and throw away the bath dust and viola! A clean and soft hammy!

How aften do you give a hamster a dust bath?
First of all you, yourself do not give your hamster a dust bath, but you can place the dust bath container in the cage. Hamsters use the dust to clean their fur, it will not harm them. Only allow a dust bath once a month, they don't need it daily.

It is different for every hamster.
What do you clean your hamster with?
Hamsters cannot be cleaned. They should NEVER be put under water unless it is a emergency (ex. They walk into and acidic fluid). You can provide then with a dust/sand bath. This will give them a fluffier coat that smells good. Syrian hamsters don't usually like dust baths, so it is better to get it for a dwarf hamster. There is a wide variety of hamster dust bath dust and Chinchilla Sand that can be used.
Just bought bought a dust bath for Delilah-Dwarf hamster when its in her cage she just goes inside and smells around why wont she use it normally how can i get her to use it?
Try eliminating any distractions. When we want our two Russian Dwarf Hamsters to use their dust bath, we take all out all the toys, tubes and wheel for about 30 minutes. This usually gets them to go into the dust bath. It may take her a little longer to get comfortable with the dust bath and be willing to roll around in the dust, but without any distractions, Delilah should catch on quickly.
Is it bad to bathe a hamsters every other week?
bathing your hamster in a dust bath is fine, but a water bath is bad for the oils in its fur. I would recommend going to a pet store and picking up some dust bath.

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.

Can you make my hamster not smell by using chinchilla bath dust?
Giving your hamster a bath in a container of chinchilla sand is fine every couple weeks. This should be done by placing your hammie in a plastic bin or shoe box with about 2-3 inches of chinchilla sand in it. Remember ONLY use chinchilla sand! The DUST will make your little hammie very sick with respritory illnesses. Giving them baths gives them better hair conditions. Getting a potty and litter for your hamster will reduce smell in the cage too.
