One has a hole, right next to the tip of its shell, and where the new growth is it has cracked of. same with the other but its got worse cracks at the bottom of its shell. i really need help. and fast, should i put some cuttlefish bone in for them? and keep it available forever, and can they repair their shells themselves?  |

hi
they shoud have cuttlefish available 24/7 anyways, and if the cracks are around the opening they are very good at repairing themselves. ive had it happen as im sure alot of people have, keep them warm and well fed, a constant supply of cuttlefish and in a few days you will see a difference

Maybe try grating some cuttlefish over their food as well to make sure they're definitely getting enough calcium?
