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.


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.
