I have two dwarf hamsters and I give them baths ocaisionally is it going to hurt them??
Answers:
Yes its going to kill them, Hamsters should NOT be put into water under any circum stance, theres stuff u can buy to spray on a paper towel and wipe off. Putting them in the tub will give them phenmonia and kill them
i have dwarf hamsters to! i dont give them baths! idk though! tell me if you find out!
as long s its nowhere near their head
nope
No, they may be too tiny or not strong enough to swim. I'm not a hampster expert, but the best way to find out would be go to a pet store or vet and ask their opinion on it.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!.. you go to www.hamsterific.com you can read info on this. HAMSTERS CANNOT GET WET!!...THEY CAN GET A DISEASE CAL LED WET TAIL.AND THEY WILL DIE...
I did the same thing to my hamster and she lived to be three... it doesn't harm them and it keeps them smelling good. Plus it's adorable to watch them swim.
It IS perfectly safe for your hamster to take a swim...
As long as you make sure the shampoo you use is safe for them(a tiny amount of tear free baby shampoo or small animal specific shampoo from the petstore) and as long as they are perfectly dry befor you put them back in the cage then they will be fine!!
Sometimes, small animals need baths, they can get pretty dirty...and face it...any animals tounge is nor a very effective deoderizing tool...
Just be careful and dry them off completely and they will be fine...
BTW: wet tail is a sickness...like bad diareah...it's not from a hamster getting wet...
Hope this helps...GOOD LUCK!
You shouldn't put them in your bathtub...It is proven that hamster don't like water, except for drinking !
They don't need to be cleaned either, because they clean themselves like a cat ! So no need to put them in your bathtub !
It can potentially drown them- it is NOT A GOOD IDEA
hamsters are originally desert animals, and they are not suposed to be in water
Never ever give a dwarf hamster, Syrian hamster, mice, or gerbils a bath. All these animals can become sick with a respiratory infection and can die from it within 24-48 hours if severe enough. The dwarf hamster is a desert animal and not a water animal. They take sand baths instead. Just as a chinchilla takes a sand bath and use the same sand as they use.
Oh and just because they haven't become sick yet where you notice it, doesn't mean they're not affected by the baths/swim. I got up about a week ago to a very sick rat with an ear infection. She is not kept near any source of drafts nor has ever had a bath (they can be bathed) so I have no idea how she got sick. I had to inject her meds for 3 days to get her well. My vet taught me how to give injections so my bill was cheaper.
nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn... it will drown
aaaaaaaa!! no!! dont!!!never!stop!!!
whatever you hear from hamster, dont let them get wet.even it look like they are not hurt!
there is a tendency that your hamster will get drown get a disease called wet tail!
Everything that I have read on about baths is don't do it. Hamsters have certain oils on their skin and giving them a bath will effect those oils and can harm the hamster. You can give it a sand bath by putting sand in the cage and the hamsters love to roll around in it which will clean them. No water tho!
Wht would you want to bathe your dwarf hamster they are not toys and need to be taken care of the right way. Small animals are VERY sensitive to temperature change and if you are not careful he or she can get sick and die, small animals rarely recover form a cold...so please do not do this! a concerned parent...
no, but if i were u i wouldn't do that it can get them VERY sick and may kill them! you don't want that
No! Do not put the hamsters in water! It will eventually die from a disease called wet tail.
