You CANNOT give Dwarf Hamsters a bath. It can cause respiratory problems, and because of how small they are, they can die from them. What you CAN do though, is buy special Rodent Sand from a pet store. They love to dig and play in it, plus, you can get sand that smells good, if the reason you want to give your Dwarf Hamster a bath is because it smells bad (I know mine does). Make sure you get the SAND not the DUST.
Bathing removes natural and essential oils from the hamster's coat, which can cause the hamster to catch a chill and die. Bathing should only be done in exceptional circumstances, like if your hamster has paint, varnish or anything toxic on its coat that may harm it if it licks itself or ingests it. The hamster will clean itself if it is dirty and the substance is not toxic.
yes, but it might get a cold
no, they wash themselves very well. if you are finding that they smell a bit then it is their cage. if where they are sleeping smells then so will they. clean it out and you will find that they will smell fine again after a bit.
Hamsters clean themselves, if u would want to bath it there is a bath spray that u can get from pet stores, you just spay it on them making sure none goes in the eyes.
you do not give a hamster a bath it will get a disease like wet tail and will surely die. A hamster shall not take a bath. it will really hurt the hamster and sooner die.
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.
Yes you can give most hamsters baths, but there are a few very important rules. . Make sure the water is not to warm and not to cold. . don't fill up the sink (or what ever thing your giving your hamster a bath in) to high. . If your hamster can not swim (usually hamsters will swim) then take them out of the bath imidietly because it might drown.
bathing your hamster in a dust bath is fine, but a water bath is bad for the oils in its fur. I would recommend going to a pet store and picking up some dust bath.
piga bath ~get it~
They clean themselves.
yes, they do.. and they wont drown.

No, hamsters don't like getting wet. And you shouldn't give your hamster a bath in the first place, it can get pneumonia.
Hamsters lick their paws and fur; they clean themselves.
