Thread: Do Hamster has a smell?

    Like Karen said, they don't smell unless you don't clean their cage. Right now we have two hamsters (a syrian and a dwarf(not housed together, of course!)) and they don't put off hardly any smell at all.

    I think they do have a smell. Even when the cage is newly clean, they still have an slight odor.

    I never noticed that hamsters stink. I've noticed that they do have a smell to them, but, most pets have some smell. I wouldn't call it a bad odor, though. But, some people's noses are a lot more sensitive than others. Dirty hamster cages usually lead to dirty hamsters, though, but, that's the owner's fault.

    Shoot I would offer to do the ferrett cage. The ferrett cage was not bad AT ALL. I mean sure they got poop all over teh side of the cage but that was easy to clean up lol

    How many hamster where in the cage though?

    I had a best friend who had 14 hamsters at once (her one had babies) and her room didn't stink unless she did not clean their cages.
    My neighbor also has a hamster, and that one doesn't have a been stench to it either.
    So, as Karen and Chilli said, nope, not unless you don't clean their cage
