i recently read somewhere that you can give a dwarf hamster sand to roll in, is this true? if so where can i buy it from, i know it has to be special sand
Answers:
Yes definitely! A sand bath is WAAAY safer than pouring water over your hamster. You can use chinchilla sand but not chinchilla dust since chinchilla dust is too fine and will hurt them. Sand bathes will keep their coat cleaner and might make them not smell. It is very entertaining to watch the hamsters play and roll around the sand. Just look at this video!

isnt it cute how they roll over? That is how they take a bath in the wild as they live in the desert.
Dont listen to kaceyrae06! Chinchilla dust is very bad for the hamster! Buy chinchilla Sand! Plus chinchilla sand is less messier than the dust.
yes it is true. i had a hamster nad she loved the sand. if you go to a pet shop and ask them to order it for you, they will.
awsome! I want that kind of sand for my dwarf hamster!!
well its not sand pursay its more like a dust you can buy it at peco which is the cheapest or pet smart most animal stores sell it! I have a dwarf hampster 2!
well i have had one before and I would try it out but I really think you shouldn't, I don't think they like it iv had one before so I never tryed tho but wouldn't wana make it mad.
it's not really sand it's like a duct bath for chinchillas, but it's perfectly fine 4 ur hamster. you can get it at petco, or petsmart:)
they LOVE dirt baths!
just go outside and get some loose dry dirt %26lt;FREE>
Their fur is similar, but not as nice, as a chinchilla's. So to clean them without getting them wet and risking catching a cold, you can use the same dust that chinchilla's bathe in. It is a special volcanic dust that takes the oils out of their fur. You can get it at any pet store by the chinchilla stuff. Just put it in a little bowl and put your hamster in and he/she should know what to do. They'll roll around and kinda shake their fur off.
yes, get chinchilla sand if their fur starts to look oily or dirty and put it in a tub, then put them in it.
Its a kind of dirt/dust.. it can be purcahsed at petstock...t
