Can you teach a hamster to swim?

Answer 1

Hamsters can swim. Almost all mammals can swim. However, hamsters do not like being wet, they can groom themselves and are capable of maintaining themselves. It is not advisable to give them a bath, because they can die if they have a cold. They're fragile animals. So be careful!!

Answer 2

NEVER LET YOUR HAMSTER SWIM. No matter what you've heard, water is VERY dangerous for hamsters. If they don't drown trying to stay afloat, they will probably catch pneumonia. You do NOT want your hamster to get pneumonia.

Answer 3

You should never put your hamster in water. They are very small animals and they can't regain heat so fast so they can catch pneumonia really easily and die. Besides, wild hamsters live in Eurasia and they are not used to swim.

Answer 4

yes! I put my dwarf hamster,Rambo,in a big bowl of water and he swam around like a little fish.

Answer 5

None of them, hamsters weren't made to swim.

Answer 6

NOOOOOOOO! Do not wet your hamster! Its natural oils will be removed and the hamster will die!

Answer 7

I do not recomend you teaching your hamster to swim. As far as I know letting a small animals like a hamster can get wet can get it sick very fast.

Hope this helps.
