Hi!
I've had Norman for a couple months now, he has always been an extremely nervous boy, but recently started sleeping in his tube. He has blocked off both ends with food and bedding as well as going potty in there. When I have seen him out of the tube he is extremely jumpy, almost like he is now afraid of the base of his cage. I've got three different bed options for him in there but he doesn't seem interested any more.

Do you think I should remove the tube to force him back into one of the beds?

I don't wanna stress him out any more than he seems but it can't be good for him in that little space. It's also making it hard for me to get him out for social time.
