I have seen many people (on the internet) permanently keeping their hamsters in bin cages with only drilled holes on the lid for ventilation. I personally won't recommend anyone doing that for a permanent home, but I think it's ok if you drill lots of holes and it is only for an hour.

Also, what if you drilled holes at the side as well? I think a general concern about too many holes at the side is that the hamster might bite them big enough to escape, but I don't think your hamster can do that in one hour.

Hopefully more people can give input on this, as I am still a learner.
