Re: [blackbelly] Miniatures

[Carol J. Elkins]

John, my bottle baby is much smaller than her nursery group. I have read, 
however, that bottle babies catch up and achieve normal weight by the time 
they mature. Keep us posted about his weight gain. I'd be willing to bet 
that he will not be a miniature for long! Are you going to band him? Intact 
rams don't make good pets, even if they are "miniature."
