Glad you found him safe 
Yes hammy is safe sleeping in his tote. He is so tiny. I am going to leave him be so he can settle into his new home. He was spinning in his wheel, he is so cute. I read online, like when a person wants to get the hamster out for play, or cleaning the cage, to use a cup to get him out. That was a great idea. it is just to get hammy out without having to pick him up. Or scoop him up using both hands in a cup like manner. I do not want to grab him, to get him out. Also hammy is eating, so that is a good sign.
Both hamsters are doing great, and yes they are separated. I want to buy bigger totes, but the tote they are in works, but only temp. I want to give them the best home poss. I will work on getting a photo of both hamster's right now they are sleeping, so I will wait to nighttime to get a few photo's.Aw it's lovely he's doing fine
I took the wheel and hamster hide out, out of the bin, so I could let people see my hamster's. The first hamster is the one who got away, but now is found, then the second hamster is Stephen. I put every thing back in the tote as I found it, hammy is hiding again, so I let him be to hide. The video is shaky. I do not think the meds I am on for tremors is not helping, infact it seems worse. Hope ya all do not get sea sick, after watching. lol

In 2 weeks when I get payed I am going to buy a bigger totes for my hamsters, this is just a temp home. I do have wheel in both totes, water bottle, food and hideouts and chew toys, they just need a bigger home, which I am going to do. I put back the wheel and hid-outs back in the tote. I am going to leave hammy alone, after his escape. I do not want to stress him out. I just removed it, so I could get a good video of my hamsters. If anyone sees something I am doing wrong, or right please let me know, thank you

Great to see them 
. They will be fine for now and will be very happy when you are able to upgrade them. In the meantime I would focus on enriching their enclosures - you could maybe add some sprays as they love nibbling on sprays and it helps them feel in a more natural environment. You can also use cardboard items - eg a kitchen roll inner tube as a tunnel - they love to have a tunnel to run through
I’m not sure the best place to get sprays in the US - Amazon have some here. Robos especially like the flax which is in that bundle.
The video isn’t shaky at all. It’s great Stephen is ok with handling.

I took a look at the sprays on amazon and I ordered a few. Yes stephen hammy is getting used to me, but I do not want to pick them up yet, hammy still does not know me yet, but he will in time. I like talking to them, hey I have someone to talk to. lol I talked to my landlord and I can have the hamsters but I have to pay a pet fee to have them. Is expensive but I do not want to hide them. Now I can get a clear tote and see them play at night. glad the video was not shaky. Well back to cleaning the cuberts. I am getting new cabinets, this is a lot of work. I am almost done whew!Great to see them

They will love those . Especially the flax. I would keep them quite short and pushed down well in the bedding - just in case they climb them and try to jump out! Not sure how tall your bins are . If you think that could be an issue then you could just lay a couple of sprays flat instead.
