We 'minded' my DiL's hamster in December when they went off on holiday. He's a wee cutie. Hope you have lots of good times with Pi.

Aww he sound cute. Hopefully he'll be nice and not bitey 
They only bite through fear etc,if you go carefully etc and get them used to your scent and gentle movements they can be hand tamed,treats etc can help.Hamsters can't see clearly more than a foot in front of them,so gentle noises ,letting them know you are approaching and of course a food treat usually works well.They have excellent hearing a sense of smell.You gently let them smell your hand etc..never try to grab them...that will scare them,then they bite.
