When hamsters lick you, is it a sign of a relationship?

I've never gotten an answer to this question.Tortilla will still lick my hands even after I wash them multiple times.I'm not sure if it's affection or something else.

Some hamsters lick each other as a sign of affection.Another possibility is that there is a salt deficiency.Since sweat is salty, an animal will lick skin.You could try a salt lick, but only for a short time.It's bad if too much is consumed.

Use a salt lick and see how it goes, I think all of the above are possibilities.It would be great if he was doing it because he loved you.

I got Timothy, my Chinese hamster a mineral chew when he started licking me for no reason and then one day he grabbed my finger and started to eat it, so I thought it was affection.

He has a salt lick in his cage and I like to think that it's his way of showing affection.

That's not the case with Tortilla because she has a mineral chew in her cage and ignores it.

I don't think it's salt deficiency, even after you wash your hand.As in sweat?Maybe the soap contains salt?

I think it's a sign of affection if they lick you all over your hand.I believe they would groom you because they love you.Cats do that as well.

My cat does it to me a lot.I was wondering if hamsters are the same.It's cute!I hope she loves me.

I licked my finger after I handed him a treat.
