Male Argentines get much bigger than females. In blues, jowls aren't as big and I don't think the male is so much bigger than the female. In your case, could be the female gobbles all the food or in some way inhibits him from eating as much as he should?

Tough to tell without knowing history. Feed and monitor him. Should grow quickly if he's small because he's young.

That surely makes no sense to me. Weird genetics, perhaps?

Obviously I know that but if one hibernatied and other did not would be noticable size differences
Sorry - wasn't trying to infer anything......just saying 3X size is a heck of a lot, and I'm thinking it doesn't happen like that in brumation. Didn't mean to insult at all.

Pictures don't do it justice like in person.
