Do not be alarmed. This is very common. Your little hamster is showing affection for you! That means that your hamster loves you! Or it can mean something else. If you groom your hamster, the hamster would want to groom you back to show his/her appreciation. It's the same with rabbits.

If a hamster licks his foot and then scratches himself, it means that he's really itchy back there (which is not a bad thing.)

If a hamster licks YOU, he's showing affection.

If a hamster licks random things, he's just bored or he smells his scent/other hamster's scent.
