    Unless these hamsters are very young then they should not be in the same cage. Teddy bear hamsters live alone, if you leave them together then they will eventually kill eachother. (it sounds harsh buts its true). I breed hamsters and there is almost always a runt in the litter. (one that is smaller than all the others). check he is eating and drinking normally. If so, he is fine :)
