How (in a detailed explanation if possible) should I begin handeling my hamster? I don’t want to scare him or get bitten. Is biting common?

Congratulations on your new hamster. I am linking an article here which gives an in depth discussion on methods to try to tame your hamster: http://www.yourpethamster.com/care/taming The key is having patience and persistence. Working at this several times a day and taking it slow to build up your hamster's trust in you. Best of luck to you and Charlie!
