Is it okay to bath a hamster?

What can you do if your hamster stinks?
Yes, you can get a dust/sand bath for your hamster. Whatever you do, don't put it under water. It can get easily sick and cold. You can only clean it in water in case of a emergency. A dust bath may cause respiratory problems, and most hamsters don't even roll in it. It is better to get sand because it is safer. Chinchilla sand is good, too. Just sprinkle the dust/sand over the hamster is it doesn't roll in it itself. Try to get as much sand/dust off as you can before letting your hamster run through the cage by stroking it.
What is a hamsters habbit?
Hamsters are indigenous to the desert were they burrow and bathe in the sand. domesticated hamsters (such as pets) use wood shavings to substitute the sand as a burrow. Many pet stores carry sterile sand that is used to bathe the hamsters but many hamster owners such as my self just give their pet a bath in the tub with a little water.
