Some hamsters can be but some aren't so when you choose a hamster look for one that is playful they aren't as messy as ones that are lazy and they will live longer. I have a hamster named Bella she is a panda hamster and she is kinda messy but she is really active I also can train her it is weird.

It is possible. Just as humans can die from diseases caused by dirty conditions, so can hamsters. Best not to take chances and give the cage a good regular cleaning.

What should i do I am getting to hamsters if they mate and she has babies should i get them out of the cage immediately so she doesn't eat them?

If she does have babies, take the male out so she WON'T eat them. She may get stressed. Also, don't get the baby hamsters out of the cage. They will probably die, and if you put them back in the cage, the mother hamster may eat them. Just watch the baby hamsters and the mother hamster. Hope this helped. DON'T TAKE THE BABIES OUT OF THE CAGE!!!!! With out the mom the babies will die. And if you put the babies back before they die she will eat them. Besure to take the male out yhe cage. If she feels like here babies are indangered she will eat them.good luck.

Can you wash hamsters?

You could wash your hamsters but not in your hot tub or shower, cause that could be really dangerous for them. If you really think you should wash them then you could use a TINY bit of baby shampoo, and you would need to wash them in warm water. I would really recommend not to wash them because they get really stressed and COULD die. If you thought about it and really want to try it, use warm water, baby shampoo, and when you are finish you need to wrap them up quickly and carefully in a towel or sweater or you could just put them in a sock until they dry up... Some hamsters really enjoy playing in socks :)

Hamsters teeth can grow. So if it grows too big, they will have difficulty eating and if they can't eat they will die from starvation. So if you see your hamster biting the bars of its cage, give it something else to wear its teeth down.
