Congratulations on Angus who is a lovely looking hamster.

You need to get him out of that awful Pico cage asap. Wire surfaces are so bad for their little paws and the wheel is too small.

The rat cage isn't ideal but better than the one he's in now. The height would worry me because hamsters climb and then drop down. You say that you have shelves that you could use so maybe you could set it up to prevent falls.
Is there room for a 26/28cm wheel, a large house plus plenty of enrichment?
