You can start offering fresh foods however your baby may not start eating them. If your baby ignores them, that's okay, just keep offering a little at a time. Eventually, your baby may start exploring the new food, but again, wont eat it. That will take time.

No he’s still being fed 3 times a day. He has no interest in his millet , so l wanted to try other things

You can try offering different foods after he's eaten his formula. Babies often feel more confident about trying new foods if their immediate needs have been met and they aren't worried about being hungry.

After l fed him l gave him a piece of apple, at first he was scared of it, then he took a couple of nibbles so l was happy about that,

Hi & welcome! Does your little one have a name yet or are you waiting to see what his personality is like? If he's still taking feedings, I'd suggest mashing the food you give him initially. Kiwi loved banana and it turned out being her first word - spoken like a true Minion.

This afternoon when I took him out for a feeding he showed signs of aggressive behaviour, maybe being aggressive because of his cage?

Today he started eating his millet

Jacks almost 6 and a half weeks now, starting to eat his seed, pellets not so much yet, he doesn’t seem to want to explore the rest of his cage, At the bottom of the cage I put care fresh down while He was still being fed when do you think I should take the care fresh away so it’s just a regular cage? I thought he would’ve been climbing all over the place by now and wanting to explore lol
