Thanks for the reply, I will try that. I put a little chicken in the bottom when I tried to get him to use it the first time, and he will usually do anything for a bit of chicken, but no dice. I just assumed he would be ok with it; I should have known better, these little guys should never be assumed" This is the most wonderful breed in the world, and one of the most frustrating, I guess that is why we are all prisoners of Love.
