Do hamsters like to have baths in chinchilla sand?

No, hamsters should not have baths in chinchilla sand. Chinchilla sand is made specifically for chinchillas and is too dusty and abrasive for hamsters' delicate skin. Hamsters should be given a dust bath in special hamster sand, which is made from fine, soft sand that won't irritate their skin. Hamster sand is available at most pet stores.
