OK, I won't replace it suddenly, thanks for the warning, yes I do place him in a bath play pen, he adores his hamster ball, although its a dwarth size so I will be needing to get a bigger one, he gets lots of out of cage play time, bed play time, I even once tried free roaming once, and I can tell you... I'm never trying that again!
sadly I can't connect anything for him to burrow in onto the cage but I give him so much toilet paper nesting that he built himself a whole burrow with tunnels =-O !
Once again I sadly can't give him his detolf sooner, as ( once again sadly) we will have to move houses and I know this will cause much stress, he will be kept in his familiar cage and stress will be reduced as much as possible, I would appreciate if you could also give me some tips for traveling with hamsters incase I missed anything or miss heard any YouTube tips.

He is kept in my bedroom, were he gets his sleep in a quiet place as we have no TV in my room, headphones always on, and no one barely comes in there, I don't make much noise myself
, surprisingly, he does like to have a run on his wheel once in a while during the day, and loves to come out of his cage during the day, I can't fix the position of his toy or change his food bowl without him climbing onto my hand and waiting to be lifted, it's quite cute
. this anxious behaviour does unfortunately start after he gets bored of his wheel, he starts climbing his bars, showing reapeted behavoir, and stands up on his hind legs on the bendy bridge which is on the second level and grabs on to the bars at the top, trying to brake free, once again this does stop while he goes out of the cage for some sort of play time, but I can't keep the play time up all day
. I did move the bridge to the bottom level so that he doesn't get hurt when falling of the bars, as when I see it, I cant save his fall as the only way to get into the cage is were he is hanging, so he is now just standing on his hind paws, reaching up, getting nowhere, it worries me... This behaviour started the day before yesterday, he also seems reluctant to go back into the cage, and instead climbs up my arm, this once again worries me. Thank you for the help
