 Grooming
Description: Grooming
is part of the hamster's natural
behavior.The
hamster is cleaning himself by licking his paw and then rubs his
face, ears, fur, the whole body. Hamsters are their own groomer and
they do a very good job with that . It's recommended that you bath your
hamster only when the vets detects some illness symptoms and a bath is
absolutely necessary.

When and why:
The hamster's nose
is very sensible and will rapidly react to every
allergen or small change that has been made in his cage or in the room

Sneezing could be a
sign of illness (allergies ,
colds or influenza) or maybe the hamster is trying to show to you that
the air is too dusty.
