If your hamster does not like it when you pick it up, and you are still talking softly to it while holding it, while also being completely gentle and sensitive to all of its needs, there is a problem.
Bring your pet to a pet store to be examined. It may have a problem with humans, period.
However, if your hamster is fairly new, your hamster could be simply shy. Hamsters will outgrow this, as do humans.
Just make sure you are sensitive and quiet for a happy hamster!

If it is a new hamster then the best way is to put your hand it's the cage with a treat on it, if the hamster takes the treat and quickly runs away this is fine. Do this a few times every day and you should soon be able to start picking your hamster up without any treats. If hamster bites you whilst you pick it up this is probably because they stressed, or nervous, so just put hamster back in cage.(Don't shake hand to try and get hamser to release grip as you may injur hamster).

Hamsters are omnivores, so basically they can eat everything. The best is if one feeds their hamster with normal, commercially available hamster food, but also feed them with fruits and vegetables (like slices carrot) or grains and seeds, as their diet must not be one-sided. In this way these little rodents can live up to 3, even 4 years as pets.
