Pretty much, yes. If someone is allergic to Hamsters, they are usually allergic to Hamsters too.

Second answer: If someone is allergic to hamsters they will also be allergic to all animals in the rodent category and that includes cute little guinea pigs. There is also a high likely hood the person is also allergic to real mink coats and other fur coats and other animals.

If the person needs to know all the animals he or she is allergic to that person needs to get tested by his or her physician.

Absolutely. When it comes to Allergies to animals, the actual culprit is the dander, saliva and urine of that animal.

With rodents and other small animals, a person is typically allergic to the urine, which when it dries in the bedding, creates a dust that can cause allergies.

Also holding the rodent can cause a reaction on the skin due to the urine, scent glands, saliva and dander in the rodents fur.

To help reduce allergies as a pet owner, use a dust free bedding and the person with the allergies should not handle the rodent or anything from the cage.
