Yup, ignoring him would tell him nobody's there or he can't come out if he chews his cage. My syrian does that sometimes when he still want to play but it's his sister's turn on the ball or playpen. He would chew the entrance nearest to my bed to ask for out time. He will only stop once the lights are off. Taht's our signal that he needs to play alone, but if he hears me and my SO talking he will again start the chewing.
