How To Bathe A Hamster

Question
Karen,
 I am emailing you to ask how would you bathe a long-haired male hamster.  Get back to me A.S.A.P. THANX!!

Answer
Hi Tina,

   Normally hamsters do not need bathed, even long haired hamsters. But if for some reason they would need one, the best way is to fill a sink with little luke warm water, get them wet, use a little baby shampoo, then rinse. Dry very well with a washcloth by gentle rubbing. You must make sure they are dry so that they do not catch a chill.

Thank you for writing.
