Can a baby Panther be kept in a 2x2x4 right from the off and would that be big enough for an adult. Sorry for the q's but i was going to get a veiled and there is alot of conflicting info on panther husbandry.

Yes, it can be used for a baby but it will be more difficult for you and it. You might consider a smaller cage until the baby is at least 4 months old. Makes it easier for the animal to find food and water, for you to find the animal.
Yes, 2(width)x2(depth)x4'(height) is large enough for an adult.

Panther care is quite similar to that for veileds. I keep panthers, feel free to peruse my blog for a collection of useful info. Make good use of the search function on this forum - lots of great info here.
these sites are also worth a look:

Thaks for the reply. I'm glad the cage would be big enough as i've seen one that i fancy and just have to wait until after my hols to get it.

The real only difference in the care of panthers and veileds is that veileds like it warmer and dryer.
