I have a dwarf hamster and I am not sure what shampoo i should buy. I thought maybe ferret shampoo would be ok but i wasn't sure. My hamster has no problem taking baths and I really don't want to hurt it with the wrong shampoo.Can I use Ferret Shampoo on my Hamster?
Its Not Safe!!!! Youre never supposed to bathe a hamster with shampoo and water because it will result in the hamster being susceptible to getting sick and the hamster is likely to die. This is a common mistake in alot of owners to want to use water, but its not safe whatsoever. Go to your store and buy a bag of sand (you can go to your local hardware store even and get something called playground sand or sandbox sand) and use that as a ';bath'; for your hamster. The hamsters instinct will be to immediately roll around in it to clean itself. By nature hamsters are desert creatures so they enjoy sand and its used for natural cleaning and should take away any dirt or smell your pet may have. Whatever you do, no water or shampoo!Can I use Ferret Shampoo on my Hamster?
animal shampoo is usually pretty gently to use on any animal.
the hamsters shouldn't shower or get wet because you get their natural oil that protects them from overheat or freezing. the hamsters clean them selves nearly every time.
you actually shouldnt bathe a hamster
You could try any small animal shampoo, but i'm sure any animal shampoo will do, they are mainly all the same. There all gentle...just don't go trying OURS... thats when you will end up with problems....lol I'm sure you won't though.
I bet he's a real cute hamster..i'm from Australia and we don't have them, ive only seem pictures :)
