Also, make him a little platform and put it at the top of the cage with maybe 6 or 8 inches of headroom in one of the back corners. Pile up some pieces of fleece and other soft fabric that does not ravel into threads on his little platform and I betcha he begins to sleep there. The more places he has to hide, the happier he will be.
