I'd let him walk into a mug with a treat in it and then put him on your lap while you sit in a safe area like the playpen or bath tub with a blanket down.

A hamster can get fleas from other pets like a cat or dog even without direct contact so another pet would be the source if it is fleas. He would be itching and scratching a lot but you should be able to see fleas when parting his coat.

I didn't know that but just read up on it in my hamster book.
