You can put a tree outside his cage for him to climb onto and come out himself, or use a stick for him to climb or just put your hand under his chin and gently knudge with the other hand. Sometimes I try and lift there feet really gently to get the ball rolling lol. The important thing is to not pull them off the branch too forcefully. Good luck

you can lure them with their favorite food. it works every time for me

thanks for the help and i will be trying this weekend and what would u guys recommend for cleaning like a 10% bleach 90% water ? or what should i use and i think go buy a little fake tree first and try that

I use antibacterial dish soap or diluted white vinegar, 1 part vinegar to 10 part water, same as 10% to 90% ratio
