Default Hamster questions for when he arrives

Morning All - so in all my planning for the new hamster arriving I have some questions:

1. I have ordered a corner litter tray for him, do you fill this with sand or something else?
2. Cage cleaning, once the cage is set up how often should we be cleaning him out? Our gerbils are cleaned once weekly but their sand is changed once or twice a day depending on how active they are.
3. We just have the fitch bedding & have been saving loo rolls - do we put anything else in? should I get some aspen shavings?
4. We have 2 houses/hideyholes for him already - do we need more?
5. How long do we leave him to settle in before we start trying to get him to come onto our hands and handle him?

I am sure I must have more questions but I can't think of any right now, if you have any new hamster advice please share - the more we know the better we can be prepared.
