  1. no! you dont put anything on your hamster because all animals have something in there fur that helps them clean them self. it is probably just the cage that smells. But dont put anything on your hamster!


  2. just wash the dang thing, and start taking better care of it.

  3. Nooooooooooooo

  4. no..it will irritate the skin..you must clean the cage and tubes and toys constantly..also a littlew warm water and soft rag wouldnt hurt them..no soap

  5. No. I think they prefer to smell like their own p**p rather than white musk! Plus their nose might not be able to handle the smell.

  6. you must not really.... why???

    1.it will l**k itself and die (like humans drinking perfume)

    2.OR it will smell the strong or mild perfume and die because it has a better sense of smell

    just try... NOT a bath

    but let it take a bath itself (bathing salt, l*****g it's fur)

    you can only bathe it when its fur is like something's stuck that if he/she might l**k it he/she will die (you can only bathe it if its important cuz it will lose it's essential oils and probably die)

    and also you could clean the cage so the cage and the hammie is clean

  7. eewwww no way! You will kill it! You could try giving it a bath in luke warm water, but don't use soap. Also make sure the dish is shallow - don't put it in the sink or anything. Gently brush its fur with an old toothbrush, and dry it well after a couple of mins in the water or it will catch a chill.

  8. no perfume!!

    clean the cage more often and maybe give you hamster a dust bath. the dust is available at most pet stores. put a small container in the cage with just enough dust to cover the bottom of the container.

    this will encourage your little guy to bathe and the dust will act as a natural cleaning/softening agent all its own.

  9. Of course not!  Clean the cage more often (at least weekly) and clean the area it uses as a toilet daily so it will not sit in it's own feaces.  You can (with great difficulty) bath a hamster carefully with small animal shampoo and they also sell cleansing wipes and sprays at larger pet store.  They must be used sparingly and are no substitute for a clean cage.

  10. Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

  11. No, dont be rediculous.  Hamsters are clean little animals, try cleaning its cage out more often.

  12. I agree with Tinkerbell. Nothing left to be said.

  13. No, just like humans, hamster have pours so the perfume would leack into her skin and the chemicals would harm you hamster. Do NOT wash him/her either. Just clean her cage and change his/her bedding once a week and the smell sould lessen

  14. NEVER!!!!!!

    Don't put anything on your hamster, don't even try to give it a bath, it will remove the natural oils from its fur and make it prone to skin infections.

    You can give them a dish of good quality chinchilla sand (don't give chinchilla dust,causes allergy) for them to roll on. They love to do this and it also gives their fur a shine.

    Hamsters are one of the most tidiest pets and they groom themselves immaculately. They only smell when the cage is dirty which is not their fault. So please clean the cage and put in fresh bedding for the hamster.

    It is good that you clarified this query on yahoo answers and also shows that you are new to your hammie. I would suggest you read up a book so that you are more familiar and comfortable in handling your hamster.

  15. yeahh sure! its not gonna hurt it.

  16. NO!! The smell could poison him and it could be fatal!!!

  17. If you want to clean your hamster take a wet rag (no soaked, squeeze it) and stroke your hamster.

    It may not like it but thats the only way to do it

    DONT PUT SOAP ON IT

  18. if you put perfume on your hamster it will l**k itself and get sick.

    also the fumes will harm it, it most likely has a better sense if smell than you do.

  19. if you put perfume on ur hamster,your hamster will be poisoned coz' they always try to l**k their hairs/body so,if you put perfume on your hamster.he will l**k the perfume

  20. no instead you should clean the cage more often and use a hamster bath ( a special bathing material for hamsters) just never spray a hamster with a harmful chemical like perfume

  21. NO NO NO.

    CRUEL AND DANGEROUS!
