To start training a hamster to be "hand-tame", first lay out your palm and see if he/she will climb on willingly. If that doesnt work, try putting a few small pieces of his/her favorite food and trying again. If it still doesnt work, you can gently pick him or her up using your index finger and thumb(pick it up only very slightly under or above their front legs. Be sure to support his bottom, too, or he could easily slip out of your hand and onto the floor you might want to wear a glove as he might be skiddish and try to bite you.
