Are those back legs deformed? if yes-- peanut. It is a very small litter- number wise-- and despite the huge size difference, could very well be a runt-- or even a few days younger-- gestationally, anyway.

That is most definitely a peanut

Thanks, guys. How do I go about dispatching a kit? Or just let it fade?

The legs do look very 'off' to me. There are also 6 in the litter

they are usually gone by day three, if not I would cull (that would be my choice though as some have let them live). Swift knock on the back of the head works well.

Its a peanut.They usually die in a few days.

I thought peanuts had bigger heads?

 

[curlysue]

No, the heads are misshapen.they have that round bump at the top.there eyes also are bulgy.Raising Netherland dwarfs i have seen many of these over the years.You also get them in HOlland lops.

Aww... I am a wuss and couldn't kill it. Cute babies though! I like the little black one....

Definitely a peanut. If he doesn't die off in a few days (which they usually do) I'd just let him live if you don't want to kill him. Just be sure to send him off as a pet and make sure he's never used for breeding.
