No it won't, he will compensate it with the diet, but I would suggest to set him free gradually as it will take time for him to get used to the ''wild'' new environment. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation (where you can post pictures ) if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
