Baby cage?

[JJchameleon]

Hi there
I know that you need a smaller cage for the chameleon for until it is 9 months old and can go into an adult cage! This got me thinking, however, why do the babies need a smaller cage? Wouldn't it be better for them to have more room to explore like they would in the wild?
All comments are appreciated

JJ,

It all comes down to keeping food in front of them; if you are not monitoring them to make sure all are eating, you need to put enough food in front of them all, so they all are eating.
A bigger cage reduces the chances greatly that the chameleons will all get fed enough.

CHEERS!
