Hi there, just a query please, when cleaning out my new quaker is it best to remove him from the cage? Basil will not step up at the moment as I have only had him 1 week...so I would have to grab him out( gently of course!) and perhaps put on an external perch( which I'm worried he wont stay on). I have been sliding his tray out and cleaning ot whilst he is in there, but I have read threads that say remove him? He does not mind me messing in his cage whilst he is in there and shows no signs of stress...but he also has not come out the cage yet to explore although I have been leaving door open as often as possible.
I just want to do the right thing so any advise is great.
Thanks
