Well I wasn't going to try again until tonight but I saw Crixis get up for a drink, so I approached him.
I talked to him, and offered him a hame made hamster cookie. I stuck a pretzel in it so I could hand it to him keepin gmy finger about 1" away from him. He nibbled on it, again making me actually hold it for him.
After a few nibbles he sniffed my hand for a few seconds and gave me a small chomp.
It definetly wasn't out of fear, it was more of a "I wonder if HE tastes good" bite. I was careful not to react or pull away - I took the chomp like a champ!
I talked to him a bit more and decided it was time for him to go back to sleep.
