Expert Answer

Syrian hamsters generally like the back and belly. Most enjoy back strokes and relax in your hand.

The belly is sensitive, so they allow it only when they trust you. Most dislike head touches and may bite if you reach for the head. Preferences vary, so try gently to learn your hamster’s favorite spots.
