I'm glad to hear that he's home. When I had to confine Storm to a cage, I put an old sheet over it and this made him feel more secure. He did cry a lot the first few nights though so I put him up on the bed with me and held him securely all night so we could both get some sleep. I think he was almost 9 at the time and now he'll soon be 14 so it was quite a while ago. I hope that everything will go well. Good luck.
