Question

I want to know if hamster take a shower or bath?

Answer 1

heres watcha do put um in a bathroom sink with a little amont of water then damp him with some water.and get a hampster spray bottle that make them smell oh so good!<3 or get cat wipes but giving them baths is so much more fun! as long as they don't drown!

Answer 2

Don't put your hamster in water ever. They do not need it and can die really fast from wet tail or catching a cold. Hamsters clean themselves because they are neat freaks so you don't ever have to worry about it getting dirty unless you didn't ever clean his cage.

Answer 3

Keeping two hamsters, I recommend you don't clean them beacuse they already do that by l*****g themself.

Anyways, it wouldn't be easy to hold a hamster still when they're moving around so much.

But if there's an unpleasant odor on your hamster, the most you should do is wet a napkin or soft cloth in lukewarm water and stroke it gently over all areas.

Never bathe the hamster like you would take a bath, it stresses them and they might get sick.

Make sure to never use any cleaning products unless there is a hamster-safe cleaning agent provided in pet stores that would be very gentle.

Answer 4

yes. soak it in lukewarm water and apply a little dab of shampoo. aka human hair care. then rince and dry about halfway.

Answer 5

Like the first answer, but you could easily make your own little bath to put in his/her cage with household items, you may have some ideas on what to use..a bowl..a lid of some sort..nothing very deep.

Good luck!

Answer 6

You can give your hamster a bath if you think it needs it.  Normally no, they don't.  

If you give your hamster a bath, use a little mild shampoo or even a drop of dishwashing liquid, and rinse very well.  Then don't let the hamster get cold; it should be fine.

Answer 7

They can catch a cold easily if you were to bathe them. But, in many stores they sell Critter dust bath sand and he'll roll around in it to get himself clean.

Answer 8

If you buy chinchilla sand (NOT dust) and a little bath house, they like to roll around in it!  But you shouldn't give them showers/baths with water, it's not necessary. :)
