Re: Soaked hamster
It is normal for them to groom quite a bit but I've never seen any of mine look wet afterwards. They can overgroom through stress but it is possible his skin is uncomfortable? He might be having a reaction so I think a vet visit is smart. Chipsi as far as I'm aware are all softwood beddings which can cause respiratory issues as well. It would be better to use a paper based bedding or a safe wood like Aspen.
Has he got a sandbath? They can give themselves a "dry bath" that way and might help the condition of his coat.
