Is it the big sputnik or the small one? Charlie showed no interest in his as well at first. I started using the small one to put his veg in which meant he went into it for that reason - but it also helps if there is access to it on a couple of sides so they are more likely to go in and have something to climb out onto. His large sputnik I have a tube leading to it, tied to the roof, and the other end goes to his house roof - when I did that he started using it - and it has a circle of hemp mat in (substrate would do) to make it cosier, so he likes it now. I did have to set a trail of treats to it at first (through the tube and into the sputnik). Now he really likes it and even curls up in it for a bit for no reason. The small one he just goes in to get his veg - it's a bit small to sit in really.
