Our Female Golden Hamster sometimes smells like a skunk. Is there anything
we can do and have you ever heard of this at all?

When a female hamster stinks, that is actually her musking - a natural
way for her to advertize to any male hamsters who may (or may not) be
in the area that she will be ready to mate soon. They do get rather
smelly sometimes, but just remember that it's completely natural.
Something else that you might notice with your female hamster is that
she will rub the side of her body against things - that's her
scenting. I'm not sure if that is marking her territory or if it
serves the same function as the musking, but either way it's a lot of
fun to watch the hammies do what comes natural to them!! :-)

Dear Doodles,
I used to have a hamster who sometimes smelled like a skunk. Usually
that meant she needed her cage cleaned. No prob.

Please keep in mind that a lot of people post questions because they
aren't as familiar with hamsters as you may be.
Yes, all hamsters are nocturnal - that means they sleep during the
day, and run on their wheels all night. Also, females will emit a
musky smell - it's a natural function to attract a mate.
