I had 2 males last summer who also spent much of the evenings trying to dig their way out the door of their cage. They were housed more "motel 6" than Best Western or Ritz Carlton. Interestingly,they were the 2 I wasn't breeding last summer. Both of them have been moved into (separate) enclosures that are 12" high instead of 8" high. One has a female with him this year and the other one has gotten kind of fat and lazy. He does enjoy being taken out and will sit on my shoulder for up to an hour and look around. It sounds from your description as if you take him out, but it's never enough for him. Is that right? Another idea, which I think I actually read about on this forum awhile ago is to give them a new environment to explore by letting them "visit" each other's cages (not at the same time if they're both males, and not if you are observing indefinite strict quarantine). The different smells and items could be temporarily intriguing.
