    Re: At last!

    Is it just me that thinks that his body is on the small side? Comparing his head to his body?
    What do you know about how the breeder fed the litter? If they group fed the babies at a bowl it's possible that this little guy got pushed aside by the bigger kids. If he's eaten worms for you that's great, keep feeding him every few days and try to get him eating the chopped pinkies. I'm sure that he'll start putting on a bit more weight now that he's getting more individual attention away from the rest of the litter.

    I agree with Chris, his body is on the small side.

    Does he look emaciated or just a little skinny?

    I would call it borderline but not emaciated yet.
    Just my opinion.

    Putting some weight on shouldn't take too long.

    He's definitely skinny. My first impression was that he isn't too far in size from my checkered girl who failed to thrive. She didn't eat at all for 4 months. Get some food in your little guy and he'll start to bulk up, especially if you can get him eating pinkies with their higher fat content.
