Ok, I decided to put Magoo back in Kindergarten for a few more days. He didn't eat anything or use his litter box and seemed as happy as a little lark to get back in his cage. I think he feels safe there unless we are home with him. I don't know if I should just force the issue and make him expand himself or just let him live in the cage unless we are home. He refused to step in the bathroom at all last night and that used to be his favorite safe spot. I guess we will just let him make the choice and that means cage. He slept solid and sound for several hours after we put him in his cage. He must have had a very trying day. Poor boy. Late last night he did come out and totally kicked "chicken butt" so I think he took his frustrations out on that. Glad it wasn't me this time!
IMO I would always have the cage for him, he needs to know he has a safe space for him, always.

Even if he was fully intergrated with your fur kids, it would be best if the cage stayed.
