Glad he's settling down. I had exactly the same thing after being away and the cage and hamster had been at the petsitters. It was very upsetting and went on for about two weeks. In the end I did a cage clean, removing all scent of the previous house, and that sort of shocked him out of it and he settled. Ironical because normal a cage clean is stressful but in this case it relieved the stress.
