In all honesty though, he could be using them and you've just not seen him do it.

Does he have a food store? Where does he keep his food? What about a nest? Does he have a nest box/house or an open nest?
He's not using them, he doesn't move his food from the bowl. He doesn't keep the food in his nest and there is no food store. The food is littered all over his cage.
He was not well cared for at his old place. His cage was falling apart and he'd lost half his fur. It hasn't grown back completely, and probably never will, but he's happy and alert and healthy.
