Yes it is bad. If water gets onto your hamster the special oils and or chemicals on he/she will wash off and then the hamster will get sick. If you have spilled water on it then I suggest you see a vet ASAP if you want it to live! Side effects from water on a hamster are: odd or strange noises, coughing, sneezing. You should clean its cage, even if you just did, do it again. Cleaning the cage will out crease it getting more sick. When cleaning the cage, be sure to wear gloves of such sort to prevent the sickness spreading around. Give the hamster a lot of rest, and don't hold it or play with it, it will make it feel sick and get sicker.

Hope This Helped!
