I wait until 5/6 months before mine go into 2x2x4 cages. Multiple feeding bowls can help, until you figure out what works best for both of you (which usually ends up being only two bowls out of 4 choices, in my case).
Plants have filled in tremendously since this picture: https://www.chameleonforums.com/mem...lbums-cage-picture4869-3-home-built-cages.jpg

i would *EXTREMELY HIGHLY* advise against putting a heat light in your enclosure.
They can not tell that they are burning themselves, and even with a guard, will climb directly onto the guard which will be incredibly hot.
As for the food issue, I simply place a large container (much bigger than a cup, like a 12"x6" plastic container) with crickets and even some cricket food/etc. I keep enough crickets in there that they can notice (more than a days worth of food) but make sur the crickets can't get out.
I place the container directly besides some elevated planters, so that they can easily hang off the bottom of the plants and pick off crickets from the tub w/o the crickets getting out.
If you want to see a build of my full-wood enclosure, you can check out my threads, but it isn't complete yet. Word of warning: if you are using FULL wood panelling (as opposed to wood-framing only) you need to consider water-proofing your wood or you will face rot/mold issues faster than you'd like..
