In that, a first level dragon (which was a hatchling) had 1 HD. They don't get much tougher than dragons, so I'd guess nearly any other type of baby creature would have no more than 1 HD...probably much less.

If I find it I can either post the URL or send it to anyone interested. I recall it also has a section on stitching another monster's body part ala half-golems.
