Can hamsters swim?

Hey it's Dr. Sharpie again! I wanted to answer a question that has been on my mind for quite  a while: Can Hamsters swim? I had this thought one day while our class was watching our hamster , Rhino, just sit in its rolling ball not doing anything. Then I looked at the sink and had this amazing idea.

So,after doing some research it turns out that hamsters can in fact swim, but it would be very vacuous of you to allow your pet hamster to swim. Allowing it to swim could result in Hypothermia and we all know what could happen if it gets Hypothermia... ( death).

In conclusion hamsters can swim but it is not the smartest idea to allow them to do so.
