baby veiled with a birth defect?

[blschultz]

So I'm not really sure but a baby hatched today and something looks wrong.... like he came out of his egg but his eyes are sunken. Kinda like dehydrated. But I'm not sure he even has eyes. Hasn't opened them or anything. Is it a birth defect or is he sick...any ideas?

Can't figure out how to get a pic up. This is a link to it. Hope it works

Wow how sad. That definitely does not look too good.

It does kind of look like he will be blind

That's what I was afraid of...

Looks like he has been born without eyes, I would just euthanize it.

Definitely a birth defect, and looks like one of several based on the shape of his head. He will not survive without eyes and there may be other internal abnormalities present.

Can't they live without eyes? Or too much work?

Poor little dude.. I would normally never say just kill it, but dang, I guess he won't live happy anyway.

Sight is the cham's number 1 sense. Can't live blind. So sad that you have to put him down.
