abnormally small (but proportional) axolotl

[axolotl nerd]

this is a picture of a year and a half old axolotl who belonged to my cousin for a bit of time last year. he was quite active and seemed happy, but very small for his age. he easily fit into the palm of my hand, and upon a breif physical examination, all organs and bones seemed to be in the right space. he seems like a dwarf, just proportional - is this possible? otherwise i don’t know what to call him? perhaps a miniature axolotl? he was never and will never be bred, as we don’t know what his genes might carry.
pictures below (sorry for the quality, usually my pictures are better)

Okay so chances are that this could be a dwarf that's proportional, but it's more likely that at some point in his growing stages he wasn't fed enough or had poor water conditions causing him to either grow slowly or quit growing completely. Either way, he seems healthy now, so I guess just try and go easy on the short jokes XD
