My nephews hamser wa sthe same. I tamed him for him. Make a pouch with your shirt put hamster in it cary him in puch to a seat and give him some treat in time he will relax in pouch and even maybe fall aslep. you can try going in bath tub leting it run around you so it will know your scent.

I've had syrians that took 2 months to tame. You can't give up now. You need to get her used to you first- without grabbing her or chasing her- talk to her, offer her treats- but don't invade her space. WHen she gets to the point that she will come up to the side of the cage expecting something, then try to get her to climb out onto your hand for the treat. Just go slowly, and spend a lot of time with her.

she might need some more time to adjust...do NOT grab her and stop taking her out of the cage...you're scaring her even more
what you can do is sit next to a cage so she can get used to your voice and smell......open the door of the cage and let her come out HERSELF
(or put the cage on the bed and let her come out)
when she's running around slightly brush your fingers over her...if you need to put her back in the cage do NOT grab her, instead SCOOP her up

before you start taking her out of the cage, i suggest trying to briber her with treats for a couple of days first (sun flower seeds, carrots ect...yummy stuff she doesnt have in her food bowl)

I have been scooping Bear Bear out of hte top of her cage, and holding her for a minute or two to try to get her used to me. I guess I am a little better off than you though, I have never been bitten by her.
