I was wondering, do u guys actually bath ur hamsters? I was told that i shd bath them once a week.. I went to a petshop y'day, was thinking to buy sandbath initially but then was recommended a kind of hamsters shampoo by the shopkeeper. It seems both my robos are struggling to dead when i was trying to "bath" them  what i did was mix a drop of shampoo in some warm water, wipe the shampoo water on their back then clean them with warm water aft that.. But they didnt really like it.. and now i start to ponder whether i'm doing the right thing  This post has been edited by Crackers: Nov 27 2007, 07:01 PM |

QUOTE(dien @ Nov 27 2007, 08:53 PM) [qoute] really?? where is the petshop?? The shopkeeper persuaded me to get the shampoo cos sandbath cannot remove the body odour of those hammies, is it true? or she said that is bcos selling the hammie shampoo makes more profit than the sandbath  Fyi, i'm new in taking care of hamsters, just got my robos few days back.. The shop is inside kepong carefour, the name of the petshop is PetsMore (or smth like that).. I was told that they've got a branch in Petaling street.. |

QUOTE(crazymouse_yyh @ Nov 28 2007, 09:34 AM) Goodness... why you don't ask people here? Petsmore gives the worst advice and service..... they know nothing about hamster care and would advice you to buy unnecessary things. Giving a wet bath is dangerous and bad for hamster's health. Robos should never be bath in water. Their fur got protective oils but sometimes too oily so they need a SAND BATH to get rid of the extra oils and also body odour. Robos are one of the few hamsters that have no body odour.... so if yours are smelly, it could be something is wrong with them. I only bath my hamsters when they are very dirty like after diarrhea, when they are soaked in pee..... but if smelly, I won't bath them, just let them have a sand bath. I shd have done more homework, my bad  Just came back frm the petshop in Ikano, the hamsters there are so so sooooooo cute! But then the room where they store the hamsters really.. smells terribly busuk  |
