Do they have a sandbath? My dwarves get greasy without theirs.

Sand bathes will help, You don't use any Cedar bedding rite?

Also a diet high in sunflower seeds or peanuts will do this too. Too much oil in food = oily fur :)

Exactly that. ^

I have the most spoiled rotten hamster in the world, who gets the best of everything. But, 2 days without his sand and he looks like he's been swimming in a deep fryer. :lol:
