こんなに 小さくちゃ ひとりじゃ生きて いけないわよね

こんなに - so, like that, in this way
小さくちゃ - 小さい is “small”, the conjunctive form is 小さくて. If you add a は it turns out as ちいさくちゃ, but I don’t know if that is what is happening here.
ひとり - 一人, alone
じゃ - again, this looks like a combination of sounds, で + は, but again I don’t know.
生きて いけない - 生きて is “to live”, 生きていくis “to keep on living”, 生きていける is the potential (can) form, ie. “can keep on living”, and 生きていけない is the negative, ie “can’t keep on living”
わ - feminine sentence ending particle
よ - sentence ending particle
ね - sentence ending particle “right?”

“such a small (creature) can’t survive all on it’s own, right?”"
