We had a small litter of hamster pups and one of them was retarded. He did well for the first several months but did not grow like his siblings. In a few months mommy had another batch of pups and he helped care for them and was doing well but still not growing very big. The babies from the new batch grew and were weaned and they started to attack the retarded hamster, so we put him in another cage by himself. He was eating good and seemed to be doing well but still not growing to well. Today when I came home it was dead. Is this common for a deformed hamster? Did we do something wrong?
