Hi,
Probably a silly question but is his bed clean? Your answer is probably 'yes'! Is the new cage 2nd hand? if so it might still smell of its previous resident? It could also just be a little stress over the move and not sure if its his home yet! Hamsters are territorial and there homes there home.
I had a similar issue with my 'Bella' she was moving her bedding around both her hideaways/beds and I wondered why! Until one day I sore her sat on top of her usual bed that she had used from day one and she had out grown it. She could easily get in there but once in with the bedding as well it was very tight. If his behaviour doesn't change, move him back and see how he behaves back in his old cage.
