Gently place a towel over Guapi, so that his head is covered. If you think he might freak out, cover his whole body. Gently wrap the towel around him, and this should let you carry him back to the cage without a problem. If you think he will struggle, wrap the towel securely around him, pinning his legs to the sides of his body. ONCE YOU PICK HIM UP, HOLD HIM SECURELY. Don't apply too much pressure, but be sure you have a secure hold. If the towel is wrapped well, this should not be a problem. If he's really freaked, and you can't get near him, spray him lightly in the face with a spritz bottle (water). He'll close his eyes, and that's when you cover him with the towel.

Hope this helps, and keep us posted.

Good luck,

John
