Hi Gerry has just had a tumor removed from his scent gland last monday he has lost a bit of weight I have tried to offer him sunflower seeds and peanuts but although he hasn't lost anymore he hasn't really gained any weight either but still running climbing and jumping as usual any one got any advice on what else I can give him to fatten him up a bit?

Wrong board. Other than offering him a variety of high protein/fat foods (cat food, crickets, mealworms, nuts, pumpkin seeds, etc.), there's not much you can do to help him gain weight.
