Hi, Terry,

I don't know the answer, but I do know it doesn't seem to hurt them any.
Ker Avon (5 year old male) is around 900g in the spring and summer
months. Romana (4.5 year old female) is about 400-450 grams this time
of year. Both had adrenal disease (left gland) fairly early in life:
Avon was a year and a half old and Romana was three, but both are doing
very well and are happy and healthy.

All the best,
Caity and the non-stop nine
