cover it in a blanket so he has a 'cave' it's his space, and should have his smells (not urine/faeces) all over it. give him an old blanket/duvet and don't ever pull him out of it against his will. it's his safe space. you can sit next to it and talk to him, offering him your hand to sniff.

Ok well he's looking brighter, but tomorrow he's off to the vets, kennel cough, first vaccination, general health check and microchip. He'll love me. :mrgreen:
popped a quilt in the cage, he looks happier on it.
