Answer
Hi.
Just give him plenty of bedding and sawdust, and he should sleep and stay warm. Give him water, because hamster quickly dehydrate. Also give him some food. I recommend buying one of those plastic travelling containers with air holes at the top. They are small but provide enough space, and the hamster can't chew through it!
Unless it is very cold, warm bedding will keep him satisfied.
Good luck with the move!
Best wishes,
