Is he overweight, is there something wrong with his back legs, or is he just taking his time getting started & I am being paranoid?? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Not to worry the fatter the better I always say, theyre being well fed by mom...he will get up and walk in time, its something like an infant who has all its needs taken care of that is late in walking or talking....

I wouldnt worry until after 4 weeks old and if he isnt wobble walking by then I would suggest a vet visit...

all the best
