I somehow don't think Squirt will "help" Skippy find food. More than likely Squirt will find it first and eat Skippy's share. I'd make sure Skippy is getting enough to eat.
And maybe I'm being too cautious, but animals can sense when another is weaker or different, which can make problems for the disabled one. (I had to separate a premature hatchling from the others because it couldn't fend for him/herself). Even if things seem OK now, I'd just be careful.
I'd like to see pics of your set-up. If possible, it would be good to have things arranged for the blind baby to make it easier for him to get around.
