Do hamsters smell? Like all animals, the answer is yes. While it’s impossible to stop your hamster from smelling altogether, there are a few ways to reduce unpleasant odors, like regularly cleaning their cage and removing any rotten food from their environment (which is important to do anyway).
This might come as a surprise, but hamsters are actually very clean creatures and will wash themselves throughout the day. In the wild, they try to keep their scent to a minimum to avoid being hunted down by predators who might sniff them out.
