Here is Bowzer, my one year old runt. His mom weighs 825g and dad weighs 802g and Bowzer is at 512g. It's not that he is skinny, he is just small!!!

He is the cutest

First picture he is behind his brother who is 5 months
Second picture he is in the right of his DAD
Third is his cute little face in my hand!

Does anybody else have any runts?

That makes me laugh! His name is Bowzer and Bowzer on Sha-Na-Na was huge! He's a cutie!
 
Bowser in the Mario games is flippin' ginormous, too, with spikes.

Are you sure he's a runt and not just growing slowly? He's only a year old, and one of my guys gained over 200g after his first birthday. Last I weighed him he was 820 at age 3, but I remember him being around 610 for his first birthday.
 
he's adorable! the little runts are always my favorite :)

I have 2 brothers, one is about 650 grams and the other is at 820 grams. I just got a scale about 2 weeks ago so I don't know how much they weighed since I got them in December but I sure don't remember the big boy being that big when I got him. LOL.
 
I have a small chin. He is over 2 now and only weights 350g. He is healthy and beautiful for his size. I even had him to my vet to make sure something was wrong with him. After blood tests found nothing wrong, I decided to keep him for my great-granddaughter as a pet She named him Chilla
 
We have a grown boy who is about 500 grams and we dont know his history but I assume he is a runt.. although who knows
 
that melted my heart! SO SWEET!!

i want a little chin! we would have so much in common!!
 
When he was about 9 or 10 weeks old he broke his leg. I took him and his mom out for playtime and left the room for a few minutes and when I got back his leg was just dragging behind him. I still feel terrible to this day because I don't know if it was something I could have prevented.... But I sure did pay for it!!!

Here he is in his little cast after surgery. Poor little bugger.
