I'm really scared to tame my hamster. He has shown no signs of agression what so ever. I've placed my hand flat in his cage, he took a treat but didn't come on my hand. I've given him treats with my fingers too. He seems super nice but I'm just afraid, so afraid. Oh and he doesn't mind my hand being in his cage.

Do not be afraid. It's good that he has accepted your hand in his cage. Now, you can use treats to entice him on to your hand. Speak softly and move slowly around him. Do not grab at him or force him on to your hand. Be patient and continue to work with Levi and he will eventually allow you to hold him.
