Attached are 3 pix of Minnie (or could it be Mickey who managed to crawl out of the tank and fall on the floor. The shell is cracked all way around near where her leg comes out. Thought she was dead, but she revived. Don't know if you can see the crack in the pix but is definitely there. Will she continue to survive, or is her death eminent?

Hi, I can't really see the crack so I can't say how bad it looks.
I'd just keep an eye on her maybe add calcium to the tank, cuttlebone or calcium based food's, spinach or kale.
Here's a website I'm a member of Applesnail.net they have really good ideas on how to repair the shell if it's really bad.
Hope she keeps ok
