Chris, you're right - he's not an adult yet. The point is, he has the
body form of a six-week old. He does not look anything like any other
kit we had at this age. Those did not have their full weight, but they
did have the long, lean body *shape* of an adult ferret. I regularly
see even 8-week kits that look more "normal" than this guy.
This kid is perhaps 3/4 as long as a normal fert at this age, and
somewhat pear shaped. As he's a MF kit, I'm reasonable certain it's
due to stunting, and not an intentional bulldog breed.
