whatis the different between a peanut and a runt...:?

 

[lelanatty]

A peanut is a dwarf rabbit that has got two dwarfing genes, which usually causes them to die before 3 days of age.
A runt is just a name we give to the smaller babies in a litter, the ones who don't grow or develop as fast their siblings.

Peanuts are from the dwarf gene, Peanuts always die.
Runts are the smallest kits in the litter.

Just for future reference - it would help if you would use a better description when you start a thread topic. Instead of "help me" - put "What is the difference between a peanut and a runt?" and people who know the difference are more likely to read the thread than if you simply say "Help me".

Thanks!

Go to yahoo search and put peanuts in rabbits and runts in rabbits and it will bring up pictures.

Hello!
i brough 2 9 week old mini lops home today and im guessing one of them is the runt as its a fair bit smaller (would post a pic if i knew how to!) she seams alert, happy and active but breaths quite heavily, grunts and sways her head from side to side, could the head swaying be motion sickness from a long car trip today and the noises be anxiety? is there more likely to be problems if shes the runt? any help would be great! (you guys seam to know what your talking about!)
