Thanks for all the advice! I bought him some toys and gave him small pieces of cardboard to chew on, which I think is helping.

I bought a big wheel, but sadly it doesn't fit in his cage. I'll use it for when I've proofed my bedroom. In the meantime, I ordered a flat wheel for him to run on, that should arrive in a couple of days.

I haven't tried the playpen in some time, as it really seemed to stress him out last time. Even with toys and snacks strewn about, all he did was dig and chew at the canvas sides. I'm planning to ease him into it over time, maybe be in the pen with him?
