Bathing a Teddy Bear Hamster

21 11:52:37

Question
Can you? If so, what do you use and how do you do it?

Answer
You can bathe them and you should use a small animal shampoo that you can find at many pet stores. Fill a little container or tub up with warm water and place the hamster in the water and just massage the shampoo in the hamster and rinse the hamster clean. Blow dry your hamster really well and make sure to do it in a place away from windows and drafts. Don't put your hamster back in the cage unless your hamster is good and dry.
