    Because hamsters live in arid plains and desert areas, and the hair of hamsters is relatively dense and soft, it cannot be washed with water, and it is not easy to dry after washing, and it is easy to cause hamsters to get sick and die in serious cases! Most hamsters are naturally afraid of water. Of course, hamsters can swim, it's just nature, and it's an indisputable fact that hamsters are afraid of water.

    The correct way to bathe is to provide hamsters with special bathing sand, which will be used by hamsters to remove dirt and microorganisms from their bodies. Now there are many brands of hamster bathing sand in the market, some are domestic and some are foreign, and most of them belong to Japan, and the quality and effect are also the best! Domestic sand may not have the desired effect (refers to the removal of microorganisms).

    Some friends like to use cat litter instead to reduce costs, but they can only remove the dirt on the rats, and they can't have a real effect and can't remove bacteria.

    The bath sand has not been urinated by rats and rats, and it will stink after a long time, because it will wash away the dirt, bacteria, and oil on the rats, and it will naturally stink!

    Even the family also uses a bathtub, generally the bath sand is changed once every 10 days or so, and the methods to save the bath sand are as follows

    Prepare a glass bottle or glass, take the bath sand (about 1 2 cm thick) and place it in the bathtub. The bath sand in the bathtub is naturally for rats and rats, whether it pees or bathes, it is just put there for them to use.

    After a few days, when the sand is dirty, pour it into a glass bottle and put it on the balcony or in a place where it can be exposed to the sun.

    At this time, put the same amount of new bath sand in the bathtub for rats.

    In this way, two bath sands have been used alternately and can be used.

    One or two months! The premise is that the quality of the bath sand you buy is very good, and the quality is very good, and the effect of repeated use is still very good.

    Also, remember to use the shovel that comes with the toilet to filter out the poop and other foreign objects in the sand when changing the sand!

    OK.

    But it cannot be washed with water. Once the hamster encounters water, the respiratory system and eyes are easily damaged, the correct way is to dry clean with bath sand, which can keep the hamster's body dry, and can also avoid causing hair loss and various diseases.

    The steps are as follows, starting with a small amount of bath sand sprinkled onto the hamster's back. Give the hamster a shake on the bath sand on its back. Repeat it a few times, and the hamster will gradually understand.

    Reach your finger to the baby hamster and let it hold your finger with its paws. Gently push the hamster down on the bath sand and slowly move it back and forth. Take your fingers off and you're done.

    Why hamsters.

    Can't bathe with water? I've been raising hamsters for so long, and I finally understand!

    In modern times, some small pets are loved by many people with unstable residences, among which cute little hamsters have become the first choice for many pet owners, but many friends who have raised hamsters know it.

    Hamsters can't bathe in water, why is that? I've been raising hamsters for so long, and I finally understand! Let's take a look at it, although some cats and dogs can be bathed with water, but small hamsters cannot, and the reason why small hamsters can't touch water.

    It is because the nasal cavity and trachea of hamsters do not have the function of waterproof reflux, so if you take a bath with water, the nose of the little hamster will easily affect the lungs, and the probability of choking to death is very high, and the little hamsters are very timid, and they usually do not take the initiative to bathe in the water.

    If it is suddenly put into the water, it will be easily frightened, plus after bathing, the body temperature of the little hamster will be very low, so it is easy to catch a cold, for the little hamster cold is very serious, it is very likely to endanger its life.

    So if you want to clean the little hamster, you can use some special bath sand, and the little hamster will clean its body in its own way, and see if it rolls in the bath sand, isn't it very cute? What are your thoughts on this? Welcome to leave a comment below!

    Under normal circumstances, hamsters are not suitable for bathing, which is related to the size and living habits of hamsters, bathing with water is easy to cause colds, a large amount of water is a threat to hamsters, hamsters can not swim. The hamster is small in size, and if it is not dried in time after washing, it will lose its physical strength and be prone to illness and cold. If a hamster wants to bathe, it needs to buy special bath sand for bathing.

    The above is mine, hope.

    Because hamsters are too small to take a bath, they will consume too much physical strength, and because they are not easy to dry after washing and there is a danger of catching a cold, so generally hamsters will not bathe with water. Note: Hamsters usually groom their own hair to keep their bodies clean, so there is no need to go out of your way to grab them to take a bath.

    If you want to wash, you can choose to wash it with hamster bath sand. Hamsters are burrowing animals that live in sandy soil environments, and using sand as a cleaning tool is more suitable for hamsters.

    Hamsters can't bathe with water, mainly because hamsters have more hair, and they are very fine and soft, and it is difficult to dry them after bathing hamsters with water, so hamsters are very easy to get sick. Therefore, when raising hamsters, many people use bath sand to bathe hamsters.

    Hamsters do not bathe mainly because they have been cared for and nurtured for a long time after being domesticated. Hamsters in the wild have a strong ability to survive and will bathe themselves. And if you want the hamster to bathe itself, you can drench it in the sand once in a while bathing, or find a hamster that can bathe itself for it to learn.

    Can hamsters bathe with water?" I often see this question in the hamster group, and it is generally a novice rat who asks this question. We humans generally take a bath with water, so it is normal for novices to have this mindset.

    Hamsters are very clean animals, and they especially need a "bath" to wash off dirt from their bodies, but for hamsters, they can't enjoy the same comfortable bubble bath as humans. Because they are too small to take a bath, they will consume too much physical strength, and because their long hair is not easy to dry after washing, there is a danger of catching a cold, so the average hamster will not use water to bathe.

    Hamsters usually groom their own hair to keep their bodies clean, so there is no need for us as owners to take them to the bath.

    There are special hamster bath sand on the market**, which is not expensive, and there are a variety of fragrance types to choose from. Don't think that this sand is the sand that we can find in construction sites, it can't be the same, this kind of bath sand is specially "tailor-made" for hamsters, hamsters are originally burrowing animals living in the sandy environment, and using sand as a cleaning tool is completely in line with the hamster's habits.

    The surface of the hamster hair can not only remove the dirt that adheres to the sand, but also the sand will not completely stick to the hamster, as long as the hamster runs away slightly, the sand on the body will automatically roll off, and the special sand can also make the hamster's hair shine a grade, and it can also make the hamster's hair fluffy, and the attached sand fragrance can also make the hamster very useful, like the effect of bath shampoo.

    So how to let the hamster take a bath with the hamster bath sand, first put the hamster bath sand in a container, do not need to spread too thick, generally spread half a centimeter thick is about the same, and then put your cute little hamster into it, the smart one will know how to roll on the sand, and the stupid point will know that there is a sand everywhere to play, this is the time for your master to educate your hamster to take a bath, you can take a small spoon to scoop up some sand and sprinkle it on the back of the hamster, after a few more times, the hamster will be able to understand that he is rolling in the bath, for the kind of hamster who is really stupid, then he has to let him"Bathhouse" is messing around, for a long time, in the process of constantly shaving can also play a bathing function, hehe, but one thing to remind first, is that hamsters like to pee in the bath sand, if the owner finds that the wet sand or compacted sand should be disposed of in time. Let's go back to washing, I personally have never washed hamsters, but I did try it with rat friends, but the process steps are more cumbersome and quite painstaking. At least prepare warm water, not too much water, bath (people use it I don't know if hamsters will be allergic), hair dryers, towels and so on.

    Anyway, no, I don't recommend washing hamsters.

    Yes, hamsters also need to clean their bodies, but they generally use a sand box and take a sand bath.

    Hamsters are small in body and are prone to hypothermia when washed with water, so they need high air temperature, quickly wash hot water, and then blow dry.
