yes a few peas a day is a good way to put on weight. They are high in protien and will not cause any harm. Just mae sure he is eating his greens as well. Good luck and i am happy he is healthy again!

Good job getting him through! Peas are great as a small treat (a few a day are fine), but they are rather high in phosphorus, so you don't want to go overboard - especially without supplementing extra calcium.

Hurrah for a healthy Marmite!
