aha! Thanks for the input guys. I'm not sure what gender it is, but I've had it for about a year...and since it was about 6 months when they gave it to me (that's the standard age that they can be given away, right?) I guess it's about one and a half years old, and since I don't have a proper scale, it's approximate weight is 680g (converting 1.5 lbs to grams).
