When do you switch cages?

Random question, since I am curious...

At what age or what length do you decide a baby is big enough for the adult enclosure? I think Kukui is just about ready for his big boy cage, but I wanted to see what other people thought.

Anytime! This question has been asked many times, and I always relate it to the wild. I'm currently keeping my 4 month old panther in a 2x2x4' enclosure and have been doing so for the past month.

I'd go for it - just keep an eye out for his food intake. It would be easier to use a feeding cup, so he can easily find his food in such a large space.

If you do want to wait just in case, I'd say 6 months or older.
