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."
