I have had a look at the Laura cage and I think if you get either a budgie or mouse ladder or use one of the bendy log bridges to form a platform he will be able to hop up from that. You could even make one yourself out of corregated cardboard for now. You may have to have a think how to attach it but if you loop the curved top over the shelf edge and then use a wire sandwich bag tie on to the side it should hold in place. He will out grow the wheel in this cage quite quickly so make sure you watch for his back bending when he runs. As for taming you should start this now. Here is our guide to taming

Try and be confident or he will sense you are nervous. He will be fast and jumpy at first so handle over a low soft area like a bed or on the floor. He may wee on you too!
I am going to split this topic down to two and put the taming part in behavior shortly n t as it is slipping off topic.
