Answer
The runt probably never had a chance, being born blind probably wasn't the only thing wrong with him. He probably had other things wrong with him that you couldn't see. The birth of guinea pigs isn't always the easiest and it's very common for guinea pigs to die after birth. It's one reason why a lot of people stop breeding guinea pigs or they never start. It's because there is such a great chance for a pup or mother to die that people don't want to go through the stress of losing one. Unless someone buys both guinea pigs from a breeder you don't know what traits you're passing onto the pups, you could pass deadly genes that could cause one or two to die or one could end up blind like the weakest one.
