Mine likes a cave with a completely enclosed back and only one way in or out. If I move the cave and leave an opening in the back he will abandon the cave and steal the kribs flowerpot. lol
Try blocking off one end of the log and see if he feels more secure that way.
And be careful pulling him out. He will use his spiney fins to hang onto the sides of the log and can be hurt by pulling on him. Not to mention the hurt he can put on you if he gets those spines in you!
Have you heard him "talking" yet?
