Question

How do I get my dwarf hamster to let me hold him?

Answer 1

It takes time. Do what the first answer said with the food for a little while and soon enough you will be cuddling your baby!

Answer 2

An easy way is to put some food or something yummy in your palm, and lower it enough to where he can sit on it.  Just be careful he doesn't get startled and fall from a height, though.  They don't usually like being held in a confined-type way (like, if you close your hand around them) and can squirm.
