Default Do hamsters like coconut/should they have it?

Can hamsters be allowed coconut? I'm asking because Holly went crazy this evening when he came out for play, he was sniffing all over my hands and arms and even trying to nibble my fingers which is something he hasn't done since I adopted him. The only thing I can think of which I had done differently was that just before taking him out I had had a shower with some new coconut scented shower cream. He obviously was very attracted by the smell!

Well I can report that he likes coconut. Boy does he like coconut! I gave him a tiny bit of the dried kind in a separate food dish and he absolutely dived in and hoovered it all up!

Must try the fresh variety next!
