Nope. He acts like it but he runs away. I’ve put his favorite treats in his bowl and made sure he saw me do it. I also added some peppers, carrots, strawberries, mango, pineapple, broccoli, and cauliflower. He moved to the other side of the cage on the topHe won't step up for you? Have you tried putting some fresh foods in a cup inside his cage to see if he'll go in to investigate those? Sooner or later he's going to get thirsty and hungry and go in to eat.
I know that. What I didn’t expect was for him to not go in his cage at all. I would’ve thought he would’ve felt safer in the cage, but I guess not. We will try again in a few more days and see what happensEvery one of my fids went through that when they first came home. New house, new cage, new people, too spooky! They all eventually went in once their hunger got the best of them, and they were more relaxed about going in when I was on the other side of the room and/or sitting down. Toby's got to feel sure of himself and his surroundings first.
I wasn’t. I put stuff in his bowl and walked into the kitchen to do the dishesAre you staying in the room when you want him to go in? Sometimes it works if you put something they want in the cage and walk out.
