Re: biting issues
I am not familiar with this disorder. Did this biting behavior start when you found out he had the disorder? I would just suggest not trying to handle him. Hamsters don't necessarily need human interaction and you said it stresses him out so it would be best to limit his stress especially since he is pretty old too. Maybe you can hand feed him some treats if you still want some interaction with him. You said he chews stuff in the cage, does that mean bars of the cage or things he's supposed to chew on like chew sticks? You also said he gets pretty disoriented in his cage, is there any way you can put him in a smaller cage? Maybe like a bin or something narrower with walls closer together, that way it's easier for him to lean on and find his way around plus there is less empty space in the middle. You could also add more structures in the middle area, things that he could get familiar with and would be able to move around easier.
