Okay, sorry I know this must be confusing but please do not get a glass cage. Wire cages are perfect as they provide the best ventilation. Chewing on the bars of the cage does not harm them what so ever, but to prevent this you can put lemon/orange juice on te bars and provide more chew sticks. The only thing I will make a note on with your cage choice is the tubes. When you say tubes, they are find if you put them in the cage yourself, but not cages with tubes, they aren't very good for any type of hamster.
Don't be too worried on handling your hamster. Don't listen to **Bob B** as he is clearly misinformed they don't all bite for the first few days, I have been keeping hamsters for 10+ years and only one of mine has ever bit me. So he obviously isn't taming them right. This is what I did each time -
Taming -
1. When getting your hamster just leave him alone for 2-3 days so he can get used to his new home.
2. After 2-3 days don't attempt to pick your hamster up, just lay your hand in the cage, flat on the floor, and see what happens.
a) if he bites don't take your hand out or shake it, I know this is hard, but your teaching your hamster that if he bites you will get off, repeat until you complete stage **C**
b) if he doesn't bite but stays well away from your hand hand repeat until stage **C**
c) if he doesn't bite but runs over your hand or sits on it, go to step 3.
3. You can now try to lift your hamster above the floor of his cage, but keeping him above the cage.
4. Now your hamster should be pretty tame and you should be able to take him out of his cage with no problem.
MAX TRAINING TIME - 2 weeks
Don't lose your hamster -
1. To make sure you wont lose your hamster, or at least make it less likely is to make sure when you put your hamster away all the doors of his cage are shut. Also when your holding him or letting him on the floor make sure that there aren't any small places he can fit into. And keep a very close eye on him.
In case you lose him -
1. Use your ears and eyes, carefully move anything on the floor and just make sure you listen as carefully as you can.
2. Get some hamster food, and place it in the middle on the room of where you lost him, when he gets hungry, he will smell the food out.
3. The food in the bucket, basically you get a bowl/bucket place food in the bottom of the bowl/bucket and create a 'book ladder' by piling books up so that they make a ladder for the hamster to climb up
