When do I increase cage size?

I'm getting my new ambi girl today. She was born in May, so she's almost 4 months. I have my 15x15x30 all set up for her, but I'm also getting my big cage in the mail today.

Should I plan to keep her in the smaller enclosure for a few months, or go ahead and transfer her this weekend? I just put my 7 mo boy in his 2x2x4 and he seems really happy about it.

If she's 4 months old I'd keep her in the 30 high cage for a couple of months and make sure that she's eating well before you move her to the 48 inch high.

Thanks, I was thinking it would be hard to tell what she's eating in a big cage, so that makes sense.

My boy started rubbing his nose on the top of the cage, so he made his wishes very clear! Hopefully I will be able to read her too.
