No! What you need to do is... *Wet a cloth with nice water not too hot and not too cold just nice and toasty *Put the Hamster/Gerbil on the cloth and wipe the cloth on your Hamster/Gerbil and dont put it by the face or eyes!!! *Turn the cloth over and put nice pet shampoo made for Rabbits,Guinea Pigs,Hamster,and Gerbil *Wipe the cltoh on the body rememeber not by the Head or Eyes! But you can clean the ears *And you Hamster/Gerbil is not Stinky

Is shampoo or bathing Saltbetter To use On hamster?

Hamsters clean themselves, but if you think s/he's getting a little smelly, a sand bath should do the trick. Get chinchilla sand (SAND, not dust), and put it in a little bowl for your hamster. If s/he is getting smelly very easily, try cleaning the cage a little more often. If the hamster has something sticky or toxic, make sure there's NO OTHER WAY to remove it. Use lukewarm water and moisten hamster, but if water alone won't remove it, use the mildest baby shampoo you can find. Keep water and suds away from the hamster's face, and be sure not to use cold water, because hamsters are susceptible to chills and can get sick.
