I weighed him at the vets on monday (9 weeks and 3 days) and he weighed in at 800 g again. He seems happy and is very energetic, just tiny. Looks like I"l be getting a sewing machie

He is so small I may even get a hamster wheel to walk him

Hi..
I know just what you mean ..my little girl aged 12wks was weighed on wed this week at the vet & she was 850g she had been 650g for two wks! But when I got home and weighed her on our digital kitchen scale she was 720g ..I am willing her to put on weight. But she to is happy and very energetic..so all good. Does your little boy eat well? What are you feeding him and how often? Ax

My Little girl is only 720 gms on our kitchen scale and I also need to find a harness to fit We don't have ferret harness's in our pet shops only dog's & cats..even the tiny ones are to small. Hollee hasn't had all her shots yet so I can't take her out just yet..
I would love the pattern to make a harness or vest..can some one please give me the website or a pattern please? Maybe I could have a go at making one? Did you find one or are you making him one? Ax

The pink Polka Dot harness is to cute..have you ordered one from the UK ? Will you put pink polka dot on your boy baby lol..so cute. I could get my sister to oder for me and ship. She is in the UK. I wonder how long the harness will last..we have no idea how big our babies will get? Ax

[geo78]

i got one of each... i'm keeping one of his sisters too. she is slightly chunkier over 1 kg but still too small for the small harness

[geo78]

This is a photo of meg in the pink harness and one of them with a tennis ball to show how small they are

[geo78]

meg looks huge compared to otis lol...they are in a banana box

[avemike]

They are beautiful little dog's which such cute little faces. Did you breed them and are they the same litter? To cute How old are they now and what is their weights now? Ax

You can actually use a Ferret collar when they are really tiny.

is it possible he has stopped growing? i know a good way to tell is looking at their feet as they grow into them but he already has.
if he has stopped growing... where do i get a harness that fits a puppy that size?
