Hamsters do not require grooming in the same way that some other pets do, such as cats or dogs. They are generally very clean animals that groom themselves regularly. However, it is important to provide them with a dust bath occasionally to help maintain their fur and remove excess oils. Additionally, long-haired hamster breeds may need occasional brushing to prevent matting.

What to groom a hamster with?

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 !
