It is very early days so she made need more time to settle. She is just nipping you. Most new hamsters do that when they are young. I had that problem with Jasper when I got back from holiday, but he's grown out of that habit now so she may do too. Nipping is just them testing if you are food or not. A real bite will hurt and possibly bleed. I have been both nipped and bitten by Jasper so you really can tell the difference. I've never been bitten by a Syrian so I don't know the difference.

She's certainly not a biter if she's this tame already. Take it slow with handling. I think it would be better if she was tamed in something like a play bin or play pen.

To stop it being a habit, I would just continue holding Jasper as normal for a couple minutes longer then putting him back in his cage so he wouldn't learn that nipping = going back to his cage as some hams will find that as a reward, others a punishment.
