What do you do if your hamster gets wet?
Bathe your hamster in a warm room, such as a bathroom, without drafts. Use an easy-to-clean waterproof container, such as Tupperware, that has high sides to avoid your hamster escaping. Fill the water up to your hamster’s shoulders so they can stand without having to swim or being fearful.
