Maybe mine aren't big enough to tell the diff yet.

I'm not convinced there is a clear difference. I think there they come in a continuum from a typical dwarf size to those that stay tiny and folks have arbitrarily defined micros as those that stay 18" or smaller.
When I said they should come micro, I based it on the assumption that there were recessive genes that kept them small. If that were the case, once they came small, the smallness should be fixed and all offspring should stay small. I don't know that to be the case. That is something we'll learn with this experiment.
That's part of what makes this fun.
