Yes.

The hamsters know their names. They come when they are called or I snap my fingers in the corner of their terrariums.

Hamsters are able to form the same bonds that most mammals are.

They have very poor eyesight and are often considered to be stupid "throwaway" type animals.

It takes training and consistency just like dogs to become close with a hamster.

The tricky part is that it has to be much more accelerated. Hamsters, at best, live to be around 1,000 days old. My oldest was about 1,120.

Don't think that rodents and other small mammals are any different to interact with than a cat or a dog just due to their size.

EDIT: Not to discount size. I can reach out and lift a hamster before it can get into any serious trouble. Much different than a dog.
