It won't die. I have to wash my hamster every 3-4 days due to him being in his wheel whenever he's awake and just going to the bathroom in the wheel instead of coming out of it. I just use the same shampoo I use on my ferrets(2), rats(3), and mice(4). It's a no-tear formula and it actually leaves his coat very fluffy and shiny :)
