No- no hamsters can't take baths because they hate water and it makes them very ill and they die!
Hamsters groom themselves and so don't need to be washed so baths won't be necessary anyway.
If they are smelly from 'someone' not cleaning their cage they can use Chinchilla dust bath, available at most pet stores.

Can a teddy bear hamster and a black bear hamster mate?
A teddy bear hamster and black bear hamster are the exact same animal, both are given "fancy" names in pet stores but are properly called Syrian Hamsters. They, of course, can mate. This is a difficult process though and the female has to be monitored closely. When she's in heat (about every 3-4 days), she'll raise her tail when you run your hand down her back. At this point, she can be put into the male's cage or place them both in neutral territory (NEVER put the male in her cage, she will kill him). Once mated, separate them immediately. If she became pregnant, you'll see signs around her second week of pregnancy. She'll give birth about three-four weeks after mating. Make sure you have homes for the babies BEFORE breeding! She can have up to 15! Most pet stores will NOT take babies from someone who isn't a breeder. yes but watch them when they meet they might fight I am not an expert but I am pretty sure that they can if you have any more Q: about hamsters please contact me @ Samantha.loo1@yahoo.com

Teddy Bear Hamsters make wonderful pets, I had a teddy bear hamster and they are the sweetest animals in the world! But each hamster is different and they require being handled daily, clean their cage once a week, change their water and food daily. Keep in mind hamsters are very fragile, even Teddy Bear Hamsters.
