My hamster ran away the second day I got it and I kind of had to chase it.

My question is, I think I've scared it for life and I feel really bad about it, I read every article and tricks on how to catch it not using my hands. In the end, I had to since she was running towards my cables and I got really scared she would hurt herself. This went on for about 30 mins since I just tried tricks for her to get into the cage without me doing anything. She was really scared the whole time and stood still whenever she knew I was near.

I've gotten her into the cage now and I'm thinking about leaving her for at least 2 - 3 days just doing her own thing. She's only 8 weeks old and I really wanna tame her before she gets older. Will she be scared for life or can I somehow fix what I did?

I feel really bad and wanna do anything I can to fix it.
