How can you tell how old a Quaker is?

Question

I adopted a Quaker that was found injured as a stray and I'm trying to figure out how old he might be. (For the record, I don't know that it is a male, I just say 'he' as it's easier.)

Also, any tips to get him to understand I don't want to kill him would be nice. I'm willing to be patient, I just also want to see some kind of change. :P

Answer 1

Take it to the vet and they can tell you how old it is, give it time my quaker was five months when I got him and he is now a year old and doesn't like to be held at all. He will snuggle with me but only on his terms.

Answer 2
