Yeah, I had a red foot hatchling pass on me a ways back. His heat and humidity were good, gave him the right food, gave him daily warm soaks, and for some reason he just passed. That’s why I’m looking into getting an older tortoise than a hatchling
I'm sorry to hear that, that is very sad! I was uneasy about purchasing the hatchling at first too because of how fragile they are. I'd rather have a well started yearling but i'm hoping for the best. The Tort Stork does have options though i think he has eggs, hatchlings, and adult torts, i'd look into it.
