We have an eyeless burm that hatched out last month, and he is eating just as well as his two eyed siblings. I've this one a chance, you'll be amazed at how well s/he might do. It would make someone an amazing pet, for sure.
I'm sorry to hear about the deformed baby. Is this a female you have bred before? How about the male? Might be something genetic with either of them, but no way to know for sure unless you breed them again.
