Hamsters shouldn't be washed under water unless of an emergency. If you have a dwarf hamster, it might like a dust bath to freshen its fur. Otherwise, only wash hamster if it absolutely needs to be washed. (For Example: gum stuck in its fur)If you must wash the hamster, wash it in warm water and dry it immediately with a hand towel. It can easily die from hypothermia if it is wet.

Can you wash a rusiam hamster?

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.


Why does your hamster smell when you have cleaned him out?

It depends what you cleaned your hamster with. If you used a sand then it usually does not help the smell just cleans his fur. If you go to a pet store you can buy a small animal shampoo that is tearless and smells great. Just make sure you wash and dry him completely very quickly dont let them air dry!
