Default Re: Do hamsters like to be petted?

Popcorn always comes to climb on me / sniff and look for treats he is always on the go, scampering off my hands, over my lap and back up again. If I try to snuggle him, or just tickle him, he wriggles like a little kid trying to get out of being kissed by his auntie But when I stop stroking him, he comes back to investigate, as if "why have you stopped?" - Mr Contrary

Haha cuuuutee
Tesla seems to be much much more interested in exploring every corner of the world, she just won't stay still (except when she is in heat which is so funny :P ). Will that change when she gets older? She is about 4-5 months old now.

When I take Ruby out she will just sit and be cuddled and stroked fr ages! sometimes she will be totally mad and not sit still at all though
Sometimes hams do calm down with age, but sometimes not!

It depends I guess... Wiggles sometimes sits still and cuddles like an angel boy and other times he runs around and will be stopped by absolutely nothing! (Except a pumpkin seed lol )

What Humphrey said x 1000!
When we try to give Choco mini kisses he just puts his hands on your lips and wriggles his head as to say ''ieuw no YUCK!'' but when you stop he looks at you with his head slightly bent thinking ''what, don't you love me any more?''
Messy loves to be taken out but he will walk, he likes to snuggle in your neck though and gladly receives his kisses there.
The robo girls are impossible to pet, they shoot away if you touch their backs unexpectedly. However they are accustomed to our hands now and don't mind that much to be picked up briefly.
