I have had Maestro for exactly the same length of time and he is also in a HH cage to help with taming as I like the big front door. When he is older I have a barney cage which is bigger. Maestro may have been bar chewing in the night 3 weeks ago because he had a bare patch on his nose just before the Andover show - typical! I checked his cage and found the wheel was perhaps slowed up by his fitch removals. So I dug it out. Now I check the wheel is turning easily at every evening feeding time. The patch has gone so I hope that was the problem. It is a typical problem. Otherwise, has she plenty to do in the cage? I do not use any of the supplied shelves/ladders but rather design my own interior.

On Maestro's thread in the Syrian section, his set up is on page 5 and you can see his bare patch on his nose on page 9.
