They are not rare at all. If you breed any animal, you get runts. Normally in nature they do not survive. Dwarf is not an accurate term for them, although there are people selling what are probably runts as dwarfs, with a price tag to match. Chances are if you bread a runt to a normal size animal, the offspring would be normal size. Dwarf traight takes many generations to fix. Netherland Dwarf rabbits are a perfect example. They breed small, however without proper culling, they will creep up again in size. If someone was selling you a dwarf, you want to see dwarf parents and grandparents. Animals that stay small are very desirable in the pet trade, and that is where runts, that are of course healthy, should find themselves. ----- www.moonstonedragons.com
