Is it normal for Pygmy goat triplets to vary so wildly in size?
Back in February my Mama Pearly Baker (Suppossedly half Pygmy/ half Fainting) seen in the corner birthed triplets Ruben, Cerise, and Stella (Right, left, and Bottom respectively. Also born in that order.) Stella was the runt and smallest and Mama rejected her so she's lived indoors as a bottle baby while her siblings stayed with Mama.
Now though they are crazy different sizes. Stella pulled a Clifford the Big Red Dog and went from the smallest runt to the tallest and longest (only 'est' she isn't is the fatest...), Cerise is the next biggest and is a complete butterball but still small compared to Stella, and then there's Ruben. Look at him by his mom's head. He's a goddammit circus peanut!
I've kidded Nigerian Dwarfs and so far have had pretty consistent sizes, but these are my first Pygmy babies and I'm just wondering if varying that much is normal? Or maybe it's the suppossed Fainting genes in there somewhere? Or maybe Ruben is just a Munchkin among Pygmys...?
