A CAG's weight

[Joolesgreyuk]

What is considered a normal weight fluctuation in a CAG, does anyone know? The first time I weighed Beau he was 420 gms (I think) I weighed him today and he was 417. Bear in mind that Beau is quite small for a CAG lol.<br><br>Post edited by: Joolesgreyuk, at: 2010/03/12 20:31

400 to 420 is a small boned grey.

430 to 480 is a medium boned grey.

510 to 605 is a large boned grey.

All figures are approx and can vary.

 

Most greys will weigh more and then weigh less very often. 2 or 3 is nothing unusual unless the weight steadily lessens and that's a sign of illness and that illness will be noticable.

Thanks for the info Dave, I will be refering to this the next time I weigh cos by then it will be forgotton again, I must be getting old lol

[crossfit]

at what age do they reach their full weight? When should I consider this list appropriate to go by?

[Dave007]

At about 1 to 1 1/2 to 2 yrs old depending upon how active the bird is but age really has no bearing as far as when they reach their average weight.

By 4 yrs old they've reached the weight that will remain permanently with a few variations during the cold weather.

When Harvey was 5 months old I posted on the "How Much Does you CAG weigh" that Harvey was 475g. By the time he was 8 months old he weighed 430g. He now weighs a steady 450g. He's so active though and is rarely sitting still - he follows us everywhere and therefore gets a good deal of "flight time".

 

I weigh him every week - just to make sure he's maintaining his rough baseline.
