Re: Biting hamster..?
It may be that Oxalis now associates biting with going back into his cage so that just might be his way of letting you know he wants to go back now. When he does bite, try not to put him back straight away, just in case it is an association thing, put him back when he's calm and friendly/non-bitey.
Gloves might be the way forward for now until he stops, or, you could try handling him in very very short bursts, putting him down after say 20-30 seconds of handling and giving him a treat, so he's being rewarded for not biting you.
I don't know what else to suggest other than that really, if it's just become habit for him, it might be difficult to curb it
