Moving Vivs

I need to move my v. easily stressed guy to a bigger, more suitable vivarium and now i have one ready i need a few tips.

Whenever i've moved him before, even when i just moved house and he stayed in the same viv, he went on major hunger strikes. He refused to eat for 6 weeks last time and i checked the temps etc were perfect. This time i've just got him up to a nice weight and want to avoid that.

I was thinking of moving his current bedding over and all his stuff so that it smells the same and switched things out slowly over the next week or so. I was also wondering about feeding him first in his old viv and then moving him to the new viv 24hrs later so that he's at least got a good meal in him.
Would that work?

He's currently in this:
