Hello.. So without seeing his cage it’s hard to tell but just a few thoughts which spring to mind...
Is his substrate deep enough? Adding in - if you haven’t already - nice deep substrate and some digging sand could help him to channel his natural behaviours; I often used to scatter feed Dora and make up lots of hidey-holes for her out of bendy bridges. Perhaps lots of natural bits to chew on and some oats / wheat etc could keep him occupied? Also is his house nice and dark at night and in a quiet room?

I’m not personally a fan of tubes as they can block them up and food can go off. Maybe rethink his house... also the hamster heaven is a decent minimum size but he may eeell need bigger, like a detour, ideally?
