Just bought bought a dust bath for Delilah-Dwarf hamster when its in her cage she just goes inside and smells around why wont she use it normally how can i get her to use it?
Try eliminating any distractions. When we want our two Russian Dwarf Hamsters to use their dust bath, we take all out all the toys, tubes and wheel for about 30 minutes. This usually gets them to go into the dust bath. It may take her a little longer to get comfortable with the dust bath and be willing to roll around in the dust, but without any distractions, Delilah should catch on quickly.

Gerbils do not require dust baths like Chinchillas. If you are able to get a gerbil to try it then use a dust bath formula from a pet store. In my experience they don't like baths.
Can you make my hamster not smell by using chinchilla bath dust?
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.
