babies can get VERY stressed if you house them in too large of a cage at young ages. Sure they will do the perch thing and wonder around at night, but I have noticed they become much more hesitant to eating regularly, their moods will be more unpredictable, and it is just generally too overwhelming for the little ones. The "vastness" makes them feel insecure. You will notice they will seek teh "safest" part of the cage even if that sacrifices proper climate. I recommend slowly increasing cage size as they mature. Good question btw!
