Sounds like a good plan. But, if you make it just a tad larger (like 8' x 3') you will have much more floor space and not have to worry about getting a larger cage after that unless you end up having a very large adult; it might save you money in the long run. Your burm sounds well acclimated so going to a 8' cage wouldn't be a problem as long as it feels secure. Many folks stuff large burms in 6' cages but I just feel that an extra 2' is far better. We keep our adult burms in 12' x 4' x 3' (w x d x h) cages and I still feel that is too small.

>>Hey everyone, I need some help. I am going to be building a cage for my burm. He is 34 1/2 inches right now and has had no issues with moving from a 10 gallon to a 75 gallon aquarium. He is always eating and was wondering if the cage which will be 6ft long,3ft wide and 1ft 3 in. high. About how long should this last him? I was thinking around 9-12ft. Does anyone think his size to the cage size will affect his feeding response in any way? thx for anyone's help.
