Dwarf Axolotl or Something else?

Hi just wondering if knows what is going on with this little one. It is almost 3mnths old. All of its sibblings seem to be ok. Just this little one. It's almost the same size as the others, but has barely any legs.The legs it does have are really large, but short .It has a little different shaped head and a large pouch like neck. Eating happily and behaving like the rest. Just wonder if it can survive like this and for how long. It will get it's own tank when it's big enough as we have decided that it is special and is going to live out the rest of it's life with our family if it lives another month or another 15 years

It doesn't live in this tiny dish, but was camera shy

Any information is greatly appreciated

Just an update sadly this little baby didn't make it . I am still curious as to what was genetically wrong with his little one.

The cause of death may be difficult to ascertain but some of the common causes and reasons for larvae death can be found in the following article:
Caudata Culture Articles - Why Larvae Die

I hope it is of some help.
