Default Hamster Doesn't Like Thumb

Hey guys, I recently picked up a winter white hamster and am on day 4 of having her. She's flat out amazing, super friendly & curious. She's also very gentle with exploring my hand, just the tiniest nibbles and licks.

The only thing, is she just doesn't like my thumb. I'm not sure what it is about it, but she's bitten it twice. The second time she did latch onto it, and I blew gently to get her to detach.

I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, and wonder if anyone has advice? Or is this just normal during taming? It just seems odd because otherwise she is so sweet.

Here's the whole interaction, that bit at the end where I turned the phone was the bite: https://streamable.com/b50l5n
