He's adorable. 
That's a good cage though, it's the one I used to have until three little ladies destroyed it. :lol:
My advice for now would be get to a hardware store like Homebase when you can and buy some untreated pine shelves, some big metal washers and some screws. Cut the wood to the size you want, drill some holes for the screws and then screw in with the washers on the outside of the cage. If that makes any sense at all....
May as well keep the wire floors in for now and just put a few wooden shelves in too. I would personally remove the ramps and make wooden ledges up to each level. They love the same toys as rabbits, cardboard tubes and boxes with hay, willow balls etc. But as someone mentioned on the other thread wooden parrot toys are great too. Try not to get anything with string as they can eat it can get stuck and cause problems. But I have had string and wood toys and just checked to make sure the string wasn't getting eaten.
Lots of updates please. :wave:

Aww whe is lovely. Is that how they kept him wih no house or toys or anything? poor little chap bet you cant wait to start changing things for him
Yep, empty cage with one block of wood in a corner to chew on and a food bowl. They have provided us with a sandbath too. The hayrack was on the outside so no wonder he didn't eat much hay, it was too hard to get too

Thank you! For now, we have put some cardboard on the shelves so he can have a break from the mesh. Will get wood tomorrow when everywhere is open, and toys too!

Some people have no clue. :evil:
At least he's with you now.
They really did think they were doing what was right :roll: Hes about 3 years old bless him, he is super friendly though and they let him out everyday and handled him well.

He probably isnt used to it
Poor guy. Have you tried him with Sand?
He might like a sand bath

He is sleeping atm! All curled up on his cardboard!! Will give him his bath later!
At least he's been loved. He probably just doesn't know what to do with toys. I'm sure in a few days he'll start to play with them. If he's had an empty cage for three years he's probably just a bit freaked out that it has stuff in it. He sounds like such a cutie.
He is. He had a run about or living room too! Tricky to catch though!
I wasn't to keen about getting one, but nor he is here a must admit I like him!!
