Hello! I have recently been completely heartbroken, as I lost a little hatchling called Puddles, when she was only a few weeks old. At first she would eat wonderfully, drink as much as she could and trudge around everywhere, and then within two days she was gone. I decided it was time to try again and have went to a different place to buy Flower, my new baby, but was still curious as to why Puddles passed. I read your post about the so called 'hatchling failure syndrome' and she displayed all of the signs that mentioned - being kept way too dry, no water bowl in sight, and no humid hides! I am terribly worried, as Flower also was kept on wood chips for the first few months, with no hide in a vivarium. She doesn't eat a great deal, is sleepier than my other torts and makes a loud clicking noise with her mouth. There is no runny nose, or lethargy, just not much of an appetite, and loud clicking. What could it be?
