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.
