I removed a lot of bedding from the corners of the cage, so he wouldn't be able to escape. He didn't bite me in evening and he wasn't shaking anymore, He was crazy active before he went to sleep again. He ran on the wheel, got out ran around the cage, rolled around in sand, then got on to the wheel again and started running fast and then ran back to the sand bath and rolled around in it and then he was just running around the cage fast and after that he started building a new nest.

Can I touch him near his eyes? I've never done that before. Well, I guess change in fur colour is still better than a bald spot, right?

If the bar spacing is wide enough for your hamster to escape, have you thought about using mesh? I have seen some cages with mesh around them to prevent the hamster from escaping.
