Actually, it is not recommended to bathe your hamster but if you want to bathe it, you will have to be careful not to get water into it’s nose and ears. DO NOT bathe hamsters which are less than 5 months old. DO NOT bathe the hamster’s head.
Directions of how to bathe your hamster:
- put some warm water into the sink (or the place where you want to bathe your hamster) and make sure that it is not too full)
- put your hamster into the water and wet it ( DO NOT do this for too long)
- get some fragrance-free soap and rub it on your hamster’s body ( DO NOT put too much soap and only apply soap on the hamster’s body)
- rinse the hamster with the water for two times
- get new warm water and rinse the hamster two times with new water
- dry your hamster with a clean cloth by wrapping it in the cloth
- leave your hamster attended in a box or something else which it can’t climb out of it or run away under ths sun for 5 minutes (at this time, your hamster might be very scared so, give it some food to eat or a wheel to run on)
- Now, you are done!
OPTIONAL: You may dry your hamster by using a hairdryer. Leave your hamster attended in a box or something else which it can’t climb out of it or run away and start drying it. DO NOT put the hairdryer too near to the hamster as it might frighten it/ burn it/ make it move uneasily.
