Haha, he was. It was terrifying me. Up until finding his shed, I was highly concerned he was dead! Gladly, he was okay. I'm glad to have him home and settled in comfortably! He really does seem none the worse for the wear, and I have made sure he can't escape again. His normal cage is almost fixed, so he's still in the temp that he escaped from. However, I put tape over the two tabs he can push through, leaving just the one exit I know he can't escape from
