if it's no excessive problem, I'd keep it alive as long as possible. I would do what ever i can just to learn from the experience. Since, it was born like this it is probably not suffering too much because it doesn't know otherwise. If there is any sign of suffering though...you should do the right thing.



This is a little more extreme than what you are witnessing but...There have been people who have had conjoined twins hatch from a single egg. Obviously, the pair can't survive without substantial care. No one that i know of has ever raised a conjoined twin to adulthood.



I have had a similar situation with a baby before. My problem may have been diferent because i think that the baby had ingested some of the vermiculite just after hatching. The baby would eat and never pooped. Eventually the stomach got so enlarged that it couldn't even walk.



IF all vital signs are great, yet just seems "retarded" then I'd see what happens
