can you give hamsters baths? if so how?
Answers:
None of these people know what there talking about! About one every 3-4 weeks put them in a small dust bath.

Then buy the actual dust.

Place them in there and leave them for about 5-10 minutes.
If you like, you dont have to buy them the house thing, you can just use a tall bowl. If you need any more care tips on any small animal, just email me at sgtgardner@hotmail.com.
No, you can't give them baths.. But, you can buy a thing called a "Pet Bath" It is not seethrough, and it has a lot of white dust stuff in it. The hamster can hop in through the little hole and get the dust all over them. Hope I helped!
You shouldn't if you don't have to they clean themselves. If you have to use a small bull of warm water and dry off very well,
you get a small bucket not deep but put your hammy in there for about 30 sec
place on dry cloth and bath with cotton wool. dry after with cloth (use another if the first one gets wet.)
no it washes away the natural oils on the hamsters body which can make it sick.
no you can't! You do NOT need to! If you think your hamster smells then clean the cage out really good and if he or she still smells bad then get some chinchilla sand and have your hamster roll in it!
you can give hamsters baths in the sink you fill it up with water and wash it like you do yourself just make sure you have hamster shampoo from a pet store
NO NO NO!!
And anyone that says you can should not be allowed to own hamsters!!
They are dry, desert animals, any contact with water will cause stress, breathing problems, and eventually at some point result in death.
Hamsters wash themselves in a very similar way to cats. They love to spend hours grooming and preening themselves. Please, whatever people tell you, dont ever put a hamster in contact with water.
no
NEVER give a hamster a bath with water! I use chinchilla sand from the pet store! NEVER use chinchilla dust, it will cause many problems.

I agree with Nikki, use chincilla SAND bath and not Dust bath. Using chincilla dust will cause respiratory problems in hamsters.
Hamsters are like cats, they like to clean themselves and takes a lot of time grooming.
Its not the best idea, they could get sick
