My veiled was a really slow grower. At the moment he is 12 inches, and hes a year old. But of course i think jannb's babies are on steroids. nah im joking:)
When I got my baby veiled, he was fine with cup feeding the day I got him, even though the people I got him from didnt cup feed him.
Sorry for double post :o
Well I think another reason people recommend a smaller cage for smaller chams is for safty reasons. Like if he/she falls, he/she could get hurt. Correct me if I'm wrong :)
