whilst being held by my friend, my tinyest baby Helix Aspersa fell of her hand, in the chaos of finding her, her shell was crushed. Its still their and standing but their is a visible crack in it  She is still quite active and i think she is still eating but not as much as she used to i have sprinkled cuttlefish over all the food and i am trying to keep her moist. Will she be ok? :S |

Well,there's a good possibility she will be,but I would just let her be for a while and repair the damage.Good luck!

No,it's not...........which is why I was saying you should handle her as little as possible,or better not at all  |

Aw, I hope she recovers! You should try out some liquid calcium (you can get it from the snail trail shop) - and it's great |

my heart goes out to you and your snail, this has happened to my snails as well, but if you feed her and keep her moist and as long as your not picking her up by her shell the chances are very good for a successful recovery.
