Sometimes a setback can happen so don't worry, I agree with Fluffagrams that they can sense if you're nervous. Talk to him more and praise him whenever he appears. Have you tried the tissue trick where you stuff some unscented toilet paper up your sleeves and leave for a couple of hours and then place in the cage, he'll sniff at it, a great way for them to know your scent, do this for about a week adding a bit more each day.
