Yes, well, it is good to hold them and tame them. It'll get them used to people. At first, they may be scared and may bite. If so, it doesn't matter much, it is just as you smell different. Keep trying and wear gloves. So, yes, they do like to be held.

Do hamsters like turtles?
Well, first of all hamsters aren't supposed to be living in the same cage with other hamsters (unless dwarf) so what makes you think that a hamster can like a turtle. Hamsters are solitary and shouldn't be put in a cage with any other animal. Hamsters don't like turtles, they will feel threatened and will try to bite and defend themselves. And hamsters are vicious little animals. Hamsters DO NOT like turtles.
