I've got two dwarf hamsters. Were anxious dwarf hammy's to start with but now after 6 months there great on mine and stranges hands. Just takes time.
Initially, she'd hiss, even when putting food in her bowl. One of them would go on her hind legs, like she's going to attack.
I'd put food they liked, mealworms, chicken, fruit and vegetables, start talking to them.
I'd set up their cage so they can come out of their own choice, my mum (had hamsters for years) suggested this.
Then started tempting them out of their cage with food, slowly she'd come out. Sometimes snatching the food then runny away but eventually, she'd stay out the cage.
Then I'd scoop her up, one of them bite but the other was nervous.
Doing this over time they got used to me, not biting or just standing still.
Now when I open the cage and come straight out fo play time
