when we first got mylo he took about an hour to come out of his cage, we have had him about 5 and a half months and the only rooms he hasnt plucked up courage for is the kitchen, for some reason he doesnt like kitchens cos hes the same at my mum an dads house too! We have laminate flooring and a rug in the front room where he spents most his time and the laminate flooring doesnt scare him!
