Not an expert by any means, but I this is something I did with my Milo when he used to cry through the night. I was getting stressed and seriously considering moving him out of my room after about a week of the same thing. I mean everything else suggested was not working. I found this suggestion online one night during a crying fest at 2 am in the morning and it actually worked, lol. The site called it an earthquake. I moved Milo extremely close to my bed, and when the whimpering started I would give his cage a quick shake, no more than a second, enough to startle not give brain damage, and say a firm "Quiet", two nights of this, Milo was done. You have to be consistent and do it whenever the whimpering starts and not engage him at night anymore than that. Hasn't cried at night since, probably thinks an earthquake monster sits outside his cage trying to get him, either way we both wake up happy, not just him.
