Just looked back at your photos of that cage again and I can see the little robo! Yes it is a bit bare. Just fill it up with things - you don't need to spend a lot - toilet roll tubes, a square tissue box hide. Or two. An egg box is a good hide as well (the cardboard ones). Just cut a hole in it somewhere. Cardboard items might be better for now anyway as if he does spin or flip he's less likely to hurt himself. I can't see if there's a wheel in there, but whether there is or not I'd pick up one of the 6.5 or 7" flying saucers. Our robo LOVED his saucer. He had both a wheel and a saucer.

And maybe add a shoebox house as well (or just cut it to make a platform/shelter. He's probably a bit lost right now - new house, new bedding - not much in there to get a routine. I'm sure he'll perk up with a few hidey places and some food scattered and a bit more shelter.
