You shouldn't need to groom a hamster, because they clean themselves very well, but if you want to help them with an extra cleaning, use a toothbrush to remove the extra bits of hair and you can also buy suitable grooming brushes from any pet shops, and you can buy grooming wipes, which keep away the smell of some hamsters. Long haired male Syrian Hamsters need a little more grooming to get rid of bulks of hair, and to reduce matting of fur. But do not bathe your hamster, as they don't like water! I hope this helps and good luck with your hamster !

Well, after taking your hamster straight to the vets, make sure he/she eats and drinks edible stuff with moisture, like peas or pear as that worked with my hamster. Make sure you follow the vets advise as well. Do not groom them too much and keep waking them up every 5 hours just to be safe. Lastly, show them some love!
