This hatchling appears to be... dead?

Young dragons are relatively defenseless. They are born with relatively soft scales, which are shed and replaced with harder ones as the hatchling matures. Once a hatchling’s wings grow in, it typically marks the beginning of maturation. At this point they are often capable of hunting on their own and are usually left alone by their mother.

Vampire Spawn almost never moves or eats, but when it does, it sucks blood hungrily, as though it is starving to death. Most of the time, it sits on its back, trying not to expend too much energy at any given time. Spawn's eyes have not opened, and it is likely they never will. It doesn't seem too bothered by this fact, though, as its hearing is exceptional. It has the unnerving tendency to moan in a low pitch when it is hungry.
