How to tell a runt from a peanut?

[MountainViewRabbitry]

How can I tell a runt from a peanut? I have one which is noticebly smaller but its still alive and fat on day 3. There holland lops. Should I be concerned? I will weigh them later today and see how big of a difference they are. (It was hard to see the differnce on day one, thats what the photos are currently. Its the broken black btw)

none of them look like peanuts.

so with peanuts you'll have weak or non-functioning hind legs, they usually cannot eat, and they have an odd shape to their head with small ears set back. They don't "look right" besides just being small.

Runts can eat, and overall just look like smaller than normal babies. People who say that they have gotten peanuts to survive are 99% of the time just dealing with a runty (perhaps runtier than normal) kit.

Runts are just small, peanuts happen when there are two dwarf genes I believe, and their eyes bulge from their head
