Question tamed...?

hi everyone!

so i'm a bit confused by my hammy's behavior. i've had her since january, and i've been doing the best i can to follow all the tips and tricks i've gotten on how to tame her.

and it's...sort of working?

i've read quite a few articles talking about how to know if your hamster is tamed/trusts you. and the some of the sarge's behavior matches, and others don't.

for example: she will eat from my hand and approach me if i put my hand in the cage (rather than running away). but at the same time, she will flinch and and struggle a bit if i try to pick her up out of the cage.

is she just at a halfway point between trusting me and not, or am i doing something wrong, or does she actually trust me and i'm misinterpreting her actions? or something else?

thanks!
