Hi and welcome to HC!

Rat cages are very high and not really suitable for hamsters because they could fall from a great height and hurt themselves.
Does the rat cage give him more floor space than the hamster heaven?
The hamster heaven is a lot lower and maybe your hamster preferred that because hamsters don't like to feel exposed.
You could suspend boredom breaker mats from the ceiling of the cage to visually reduce its height and make the hamster feel more sheltered.
