    He offered her to us as a bonus
    Sadly putting the burden of a non established deformed animal on someone inexperienced in starting hatchlings is not much of a bonus

    Getting an hatchling to get started can be hard enough with a perfectly healthy animal but when deformity is present it can be very different.

    If he couldn't assist (and I assume he has experience) the only option will be to force feed which means pushing the F/T prey down the throat and then massaging it down.

    hatchling with a pretty big overbite
    Depending on the extent the animal's overbite it is possible that the animal will never feed on it's own meaning it will have to be put down if it is the case.
