I have a baby just a week old. She is very tiny, but appears to be feeding okay from her mama. Since born, she is always laying down, in one of two spots, whenever I go out to check on her. She will stand and walk over, although she's a bit wobbly when she does. Her front knees appear really knobby, and I never see them straightened out, even when she's standing. And her front hooves are more spread flat rather than standing straight up. I'm not sure if she's not standing or playing much because of her legs or because she's puny to begin with. My other babies were a lot more energetic...Not sure if this is a health problem (will she grow out of the leg thing?) or if she's just not as playful by nature, or something more serious. May be a silly question, but I really don't know.
