Ive Just Noticed My Hamsters Skin Seems To Be Dry And Hes Getting Flakes Of it Coming Off . Im Not Sure if This is Normal. Also Ive Been Told By Some People That i Should Give Him Baths With Just a Little Water. Other People Have Said Not Too ?

No, don't give him a bath with water. I would take him to the vets in case he has mites.

Really dont do the bath thing. Its 90 percent chance he will get sick and die, in my opinion. Not worth it.
