I managed to get him to go in the carrier of his own accord, and took him downstairs quickly he was very very unsteady and nervous at first and I nearly took him back up, but he's been here half an hour now and is getting better he keeps going back to the carrier to make sure it's still there, but he's venturing further away from it each time he comes out it will take his mind off being lonely if nothing else. I'll take him back to his room at bedtime, but at least he has our company for a few hours instead of just keep popping upstairs to see him. It's nice having him down here hopping about, it's a shame it's not really practical to have him live here permanently. I haven't taken any pics as I don't want to scare him with the flash.
