I've had a baby tortoise that hatched with one of her hind legs stuck inside the shell (The claws, to be precise). Something like that is practically a death sentence for them (tl;dr explanation: She was slowly asphyxiating). Those were three days of taking care of her as well as I could to have her very short-lived life be deceptively nice.

I've had tortoises dying in the process of hatching, but that specific baby's was the most heartbreaking.
