Question
Dear joanne,can u tell me the best way to bathe,feed dry and clean hamsters?                                     
pls reply              gerald

Answer
hi gerald,

you should never bath your hamster in water, use dry chinchilla sand instead. you can feed your hamster using a little bowl and hamster muesli which you can buy at the pet store, hamsters also enjoy many fruits and vegetables as a treat once or twice a week, but dont give him anything acidic like oranges or lemons.

good luck and thank you for your question, please ask again if you need to.
