My green cheek completely refuses to go into his cage - to the point which he has began to purposely starve himself opposed to having to enter this cage. I let him out every day and it has gotten worst by the days - I have tried everything, no matter how many treats i put in his cage he won't budge. Even when and if he goes into his cage its a struggle to close the door without him attempting to fly out with even the slightest of movements on my behalf making him fly out.
Last night, I was awake until 4am waiting for him to go into his cage and he did not budge, instead he stared at me until i gave up and let him sleep outside. I dont want to stop letting him out but at this rate, he's driving me absolutely insane.
I need help asap! Even at this very moment i'm waiting for him to give into his hunger and go into his cage. I dont want to have to chase him and attempt to grab him as i know this really stresses them out but I'm considering this to be my last option. I let him out today at 5pm, it is now 10pm and he hasn't eating since and I see no attempts on his behalf to go and eat.
Fyi - he was not hand reared, is 3-5 months, and I've had him for just over 2 weeks.
