Please dont beat yourself up some of the subspecies graeca can be very difficult to keep hydrated longterm if they are kept indoors. Graeca graeca in particular need to be quite big before we stop hydrating them like hatchlings. Unlike Hermanni which are very quickly past the hatchling stage and far easier to raise. When you feel up to it please take a look at this article about hatchling failure, I understand yours was no longer a hatchling but at any age once they show signs of failure they are normally very sick.http://www.tortoise-island.org/hatchling-failure.php
