It depends on your definition and expectation of "bonding" and the personality of your hamster.

What exactly do you hope for and expect bonding with your hamster should be?

I think the majority of hamsters don't like cuddles and prefer to run and sniff about when out of the cage. Maybe you could sit in the playpen with her and let her run and climb all over you.

As for treats, she may not always be hungry enough to fancy a treat or simply not fancy the treat. What do you offer her?

Let us know what you would like your hamster to do or be so you feel that you have bonded and maybe then people can make suggestions.
