Wow that is a lovely set up! And a little robo hiding in there somewhere! Whereabouts is his food bowl? I find their prime motivation every day is for their bit of fresh veg. So I used to put it on a separate dish further away from his nesting area to tempt him out. Adding a flying saucer could be an option as well, as well as the wheel if he gets keen on that.

From my experience it takes a bit for them to get used to a wheel. Our robo didn't use his at first for some time. I think I started putting treats in it then he used it but couldn't get the hang of it (they spin right over and fly out!) But they soon get the hang of that. Just make sure there's nothing hard or sharp to land on in the wheel area in case he flies out!
