Is It Safe To Bathe a Hamster?

Pet Hamster Care

Giving your hamster a water bath isn't necessary. In fact, it could remove their natural oils and may cause your hamster to get chilled, leading to illness or even death. In their natural wild habitat hamsters roll in the sand to keep their fur from getting too oily.

 Is it safe to bathe a hamster? Well, an alternative to a water bath is to provide your hamster with chinchilla sand in their cage, in a small bowl. This will allow your hamster to 'bathe' safely and as often as they feel is necessary.

To insure your hamster is healthy and happy, it's important to give your litty guy the best pet hamster care possible!
