Default Re: Quick question (very specific)

It can be very irritating to them, in some cases even toxic. Definitely make sure the lotion is fully absorbed into your skin before touching your hamster or anything of theirs - preferably don't handle them or their things with lotion at all though as this is your safest bet providing you use unscented soap.

It can also cause a hamster to mistake your hands for food depending on the lotion's scent which can of course lead to unwanted nipping and even biting.
