I am concerned your hamster has undergone a traumatic event.  This may have led to the injured foot and neurological signs you are observing.  Congenital problems, infection, or metabolic issues are possible.  It would be best to have your hamster examined by a veterinarian.  In the mean time monitor your hamster's appetite and water intake.  If he gets stuck on his back place him back in an upright position.

Also We have another hamster which is female and they have been in the same cage recently and she now looks like shes finding it hard to breath, could they both have the same illness? Also i just saw blood around the males back end, do you what that is?

Thanks.

Yes it is possible they have the same disease if an infectious disease is the cause. Hamsters are prone to wet tail--if the male is having diarrhea along with the blood from the rectum this could be the problem. Medication is needed to treat wet tail and often other infectious diseases.

Albino hamsters will develop problems no matter how well you try to take care of them, its normal with all albino animals. What you should do is take him to a vet, they shouldnt charge much, but it will be worth it, you don't want your hamster in pain. If there is another hamster in the cage with him, try keep them separate as more problems may occur with the albino.
