I totally agree with @leigti
Only a closed chamber is suitable for young tortoises. Humidity and warmth are the most important things to raise a young tort healthy.
Search for a breeder that starts his babies in a humid closed chamber.
And yes, stay on the forum and read all you can get about tortoises and how to keep them healthy.
I am sorry too that you little baby passed away and I wish you much luck for the next one. When you`ll follow the advices here the next baby should thrive and grow well.
These are my little Hermann tortoises. Not hibernating and growing very well.
They are so cute! Love the little guys! Would you mind posting a photo of your enclosure so I can see?
