I've been trying to tame my adopted russian dwarf (hybrid?) for about 2 months, after his settling in period. I swear i've tried almost EVEERYTHING!

When I first got him he would just run straight round treats and bight my hand, now, he takes treats THEN bites my hand. So we have had progress, but not a lot to say he's turned 6 months old.
He doesn't act scared, the only time I have seen him scared was yesterday after he came home from the vets when he would run over my hand, into his house, but not 100% bother about treats like usual.

HoppingHammy suggested putting him elsewhere other than his cage for taming in case it's cage agression, I put him in the bath and in a spare wooden box several times, but he still bit me...

Any suggestion? PLEASE HELP!
