We adopted Tigger via Gumtree. He was advertised as free to good home and needing to go quickly – turns out his previous owners had acquired a dog the day before placing the ad.
Anyway when we collected him we were told he was 9 months old. He is a harlequin lop. He felt quite thin when I picked him up and when we got home I weighed him. He was 1.6kg (the same weight as our netherland dwarf).
I checked his bits to make sure he was male and noticed he was not showing as fully developed (if you know what I mean).
We took him to the vets for a check up and they said he was a little thin and more like 4 months old.
Within 2 weeks Tiggers weight increased by 0.2Kg and his boy bits appeared.
Now my question is – is this just timing / age (and previous owners were wrong about getting him in January) or is it likely we was underfed?
