Tantrums before bed!

Does anyone have any advice for me. My IRN has started to have major trantrums when i go to put him in his cage. He will try his hardest not to go in and im forced to grab him in order to get him in sometimes. He's starting to think he is the boss of the house i think! Any suggestions??
