Anyway getting back to quality. I've always thought that bigger babies meant they were from a "mature" female. One that hasn't been powerfed to get larger faster and bred much younger. I always thought that larger babies came from females that were mature and grew at a normal rate. They were better developed and therefore gave you larger and possibley healthier babies.

So I guess I'm asking if a powerfed female will also produce larger babies if the litter was small?
