He'll probably grow some,but I don't imagine he'll get as large as a well treated one at that point. I've gotten several animals in that state, and it seems like it varies both depending on how long they've been maltreated (a Fl King yearling got in similar condition is doing a lot of catching up and is over 500 grams, up from 40 in October) and just individual to individual. The longer they were malnourished the less they seem to grow.

Feed him heavy and eventually you'll probably see some growth, but I doubt he'll get as big as most well cared for ones. He don't care, he's just getting food regular for the first time.
