I used a hamster ball as a safe hamster taxi for a very wriggly and excitable young Syrian until he grew up a bit and became calmer. He was always keen to get out of his cage so i didn't put a treat in the ball but saved that for later.
I found that once he had been out running and playing for a while he started to get hungry and that's when i put a treat in the ball to tempt him into it which worked fine but i still had to give him a little shove or nudge sometimes.
When hamsters are occupied with food they tend to tolerate things better even getting stroked.
