First off let me explain one thing Iam not a breeder , I got themother as part of a package deal in aMill shut down OMG i had 42 babies all atone time , every Doe was pregnant, itswas the most awful , wonderfull , scarey ,heartbreaking,learning tool,experience of my life ,I'v seen a peanut, and that doesn't look like one. Tworabbits out of my last litter had the exact same size diference and itwas just a runt, not a peanut, and he lived and is now 9 months old andstill growing, But it is very possible that I am wrong
