Forgive me for asking this slightly random question but as you may know I am looking after some nethie cross breed does and their litter. Mums are fairly big, not really neddie like at all, probably around 2 kg. Most of the litter are around 600 - 700g so doing really well.
Thumbelina is the size of a tennis ball and weights 150g. She is fairly round and I joke that she is a wide as she is long. She isn't underweight but just doesn't seem to be growing.
Given that her mums have neddie in them I wondering if the dwarfing gene has come out strong in her BUT even if she is almost all nethie then shouldn't she be maturing faster than brothers and sisters so keeping up with them???
If anyone has any experience with nethie kits and knows rounghly how much they should weigh at 6 weeks it would be very much appreciated. I'm wondering if she is a peanut but they are surely supposed to last only a few days, not 6 weeks (and she is very bouncy)
