Ok so first you need to put food or a treat in your hand and then put your hand in the cage. If the hamster is ready to be held it will come upi to you and will sniff you. If it crawls onto your hands and eats the treat start to pet it. If it scurries away try again later, but of not they slowly pick it up and put it in a bath tub or sink. Play with it until he will freely crawl into your hand.

∙ 15y agoYou should hold your hamster regulary because then the hamster you may have will become used to you and also fond of you this will make the hamster more happy and it will also be more fun to your hamster.

∙ 12y agoCup one hand with the hamster on your palm, and put your other hand over it. The goal is to make the hamster feel secure but not squished. Hold your hamster in such a way that he/she is comfortable and that won't allow you to drop him/her. Another way is to hold your hamster with one hand against your body to make him or her feel safe.
I've got a hamster but havn't held her yet BECAUSE that method is known to be bad for beginners. what I've learnt is that my hamster, and probably others if they are new and scared, will bite when handled like that. I got bitten REAL bad yesterday cuz of using that method. I've been reading other web pages adn tehy say the best way is to put a mug in with a little bedding and let the hamster crawl in. when she's in pick up the mug and tip it GENTLEY onto your hand. I'm workign with my hamster the easiest way for beginners and that's to put your hand in the cage (washed and not smelling of food) then you put a little bit of wood shavings which your hamster has laid on (So it smells familiar) only a little so your hamster can see your hand and won't be started when you lift up the hand ever so gently. Don't go futher than 5cm from the ground of the cage the first few nights otherwise your hamster has the chance fo jumping off and jumping too far... This can kill them. By the way I don't mean to be rude earlier about that method, it just hasn't worked for me : ) x
