Age to free range??

[Aussie]

Hey everyone, I'm just wondering how old my cham should be before I free range him. My cham is 5 months old and i noticed that he would always crawl on the side of his cage closest to the window and some other plants like he was trying to get out. I now have some branches leading out of his cage to over by the window and a couple plants. I try to put him back in his cage so he can drink and eat but after about 20 minutes he always cruises right back out to the plants/window. He knows how to eat out of his cup in his cage so I think he's probably fine but if anyone has any input on the age that they should be free ranged just let me know please

I dont believe there is an age suggestion. If he's cup eating and u have lights on the free range the difference between caged and free are minimal. As long as he dosent have easy access to leave the freerange I recommend a tray under the free and soak his plant and see How he likes it. And good luck!

Alright thanks! I need to get more lights for the free range, that's part of the reason I put him back in his cage occasionally. I'm definitely going to get more lights for him because he seems to love roaming around so much haha

I've heard if he has close access to his cage no new lights required but in my opinion get another set or move urs to where he is. I've got a set on each and put both sets on if he has access back and forth.
