How to bathe a hamster Cleaning with bath sand is in line with its habits.
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. Let's take a look at how to bathe the hamster.
1. First of all, choose a plate with bath sand, to be able to accommodate two rats, a little higher, the rat just enough to climb into the height, if the plate is too short, the rat bath sand is easy to fly out when the rat bathes, the amount of bath sand is one or two centimeters thick is enough.
2. Put it in the cage after putting it in the bath sand, watch it take a bath, and take it out after washing. Put it in when you remember.
3. Look at it after taking a bath and take it out, for two weeks, pay attention to the process of taking a bath, although the rat will not urinate in the bath sand, but the stool will definitely be there, so when the stool is defeted, use disposable chopsticks to clip the stool out of the OK.
4. After two weeks, put the whole bath sand table into the cage, and observe whether it will urinate in the bath sand for a few days. It's not that you don't need to change the bath sand if you don't urinate, if you wash it every day, change it once a month (or a month and a half), this method is not every rat and rat, I hope your rat and rat will also know how to go to the toilet so that you can save money on bathing sand!
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.

The sand in the sand is clear (preferably the sand on the beach is relatively fine) (the sand at the construction site can also be washed, but it should be washed several times, for fear of chemicals), the sand is washed in water a few more times, and then put it in a bowl and add water (it takes a lot of water) and put it in the microwave oven to heat and disinfect it and put it on the plastic sheet (or something else) to dry, add talcum powder to the dried sand, put the hamster in the sand and dry clean it, it will roll on its own, If not, you can use a small spoon to dig up the sand and sprinkle it on it, being careful not to spill it on your eyes. Also, don't let the hamster touch the water, it is easy to get sick.
2. You tear some tissues in the cage, suck urine, leave the stool alone, it doesn't stink, you can change it about once every two or three days.
3. Keep warm is to put more paper towels, it is best to buy special sawdust for hamsters, buy them online, if not, go to the pharmacy to buy absorbent cotton, a few dollars a pack, take a little to it door, they will build their own nests.
