Try washing your hands thoroughly before putting them near the hamster and put a few seeds in your palm and just keep your hand still and palm up in it's cage and let the hamster do what it wants. Also, if it does bite you DON'T jerk away. It learns that "hey, I bite it leaves so I'll keep doing it!'. Lots of patience is involved in developing trust with your hamster and I speak from experience as I bought a russian dwarf that was labeled a 'Biter' by Pet Smart and after a little more than two months of patience she no longer bites me at all unless I'm stupid enough to startle her when she's sleeping.
