Thanks again everyone.

We've gone full circle now!
Zylvan's back in the bigger bin, he was about due a clean anyway so I decided to switch him back at the same time.
The layout is a bit more open than it was initially but he has more smaller hideouts, two houses, the christmas pud & the pumpkin house so he can choose which season he wants to celebrate & a coconut which he loves & a new wooden cheese cube thingy, it was so sweet to watch him popping in & out of that
He didn't seem too upset by the change, a little nervous but after hiding in the coconut for a short while he had a good look around & seemed to enjoy it, when I put my hand in he gave it a good sniff all over then just walked round it fairly calmly without looking as though he felt trapped & panicky like he did in the smaller bin so I'm hopeful he'll do better in there & now the smaller bin is familiar & has his scent on it I'll use that as a taming bin but give him a day or two to settle again first probably. Whether the taming bin will get him all nervous again I don't know but I'll persevere one way or another & figure out what will work best for him.
He obviously wasn't holding the change against me this morning when I spotted him sitting in his wheel munching something & went to talk to him & he raced to the mesh to greet me & grab a treat, he never stays out for long in the morning, just grabs some food & goes back to bed but he did seem a little more relaxed, fingers crossed it stays that way & just gets better now.
