My Little Alexander escaped from his cage while I was cleaning his food bowls, and I had to run after him through the whole house. Once he was exhausted, I grabbed him and put him in his cage. I've had him for a day now and he is 2 months old. Now everytime I try tp pet him or even go near him, he digs his claws into my hands and bites me. What should I do? please help

It sounds like by chasing and grabbing him you may have eroded some of the trust he had in you.
I wouldn't handle him right now or even try to pet him. I would sit outside his cage and softly speak to him. Walk by his cage and place a goodie in his dish and then walk away. He will learn to trust you again.
