Have you tried using the tissue trick yet? You place a non-scented tissue in your sleeve for several hours so it acquires your scent. Then, you place the tissue into his cage so he can familiarize himself with your scent. Do this for a few days and softly speak to him even if he is nestled in his nest and isn't visible to you. Make sure to wash your hands thoroughly before placing your hand in his cage so you can be sure that you don't have any lotion or food scent on it. Place your hand on the bedding so some of the scent of the cage will then transfer onto your hand and leave it there so your ham can slowly approach it. It is usually less intimidating for a ham if you have a side or front door of the cage to enter your hand from since they are prey animals. If you don't, it isn't impossible to tame them with your hand coming from the top. I have a bin cage for Eros and never had a side or front entrance to her cage and she did fine with her taming. Just be sure to make slow movements so the ham isn't startled by you. Hamster's vision isn't the best so they often use their mouths to investigate whether or not something is edible. So long as it doesn't nibble hard, it is perfectly natural for some to do this and usually they outgrow this behavior over time. If they do nibble or even bite, do not make any jerky movements regardless of how difficult this may be; you don't want them to associate your hand with anything that should be feared. Another thing you can do is just give him treats from your fingers at first without the need for him to sit on your hand so he get to know that your hand is something that gives him what he loves - food. Then, when he is a bit tamer with that, you can use a container to transfer him into the tub with you because some hams are more territorial inside their cage than outside of it. At that time, he will have the opportunity to crawl on you and you can begin bonding with one another even more. Be sure to place a towel over the stopper though so he won't get injured or try to squeeze through the hole and make sure there are plenty of hideaways and toys for him also. It just takes patience and gentle loving care, but when they become tame it is truly worth all the effort and time you put into it. Just like humans, some hams take longer than other to become more social. I hope that this helps. Good luck and have fun with him.
