I'm sorry if I miscommunicated the situation about him smelling his dinner while it was thawing.



The photo I posted was from while I was playing with him the day before. He was in his cage, and always is, while I prepared his dinner. The reason why he can smell his dinner so well - which I thaw in the kitchen that is two rooms away - is on account of the ventilation I have installed on his cage. It actively draws fresh air from the room (including any 'smells' from the house) through the cage and exhausts to a vent outside.



I would never have him out, or handle him in any way on feeding day. I don't want him to make ANY associations between me and "food".



Again - sorry if I was unclear on that.
