Bathing
| A popular question asked by hamster owner is �Do I have to bathe my hamster?� The answer is no. Hamsters supposedly do not have any offensive body smells because they clean themselves. If anything will start to smell it'll be its cage. So just make sure you clean out the cage at least once a week. If, for some reason, you really feel that your hamster needs some help cleaning, you can use a soft toothbrush and some lukewarm water to do this. But make sure you don't drench the hamster because then it could become sick. Another alternative is to let them roll around in chinchilla bathing sand. |
