I have always found dwarfs to be biters, no matter how hard I tried, all 5 I had bite me and I couldn't pick them up.
My Syrian's have all been great, with my current Syrian, who was a very jumpy when he first arrived, I used a tube to pick him up, then gradually let him get used to me by letting him sniff my hand as he was running around my bed. I could pick him up and stroke him within 2 days of egtting him.
Hope you've had some luck with your little hammy
