It is an odd thing to think about him dieing. I expected him to die after a number of different observations and now, I irrationally think he will be with me for a long time.
I am new to cuttles, I have 12 eggs. One egg has a little cuttle shaped guy in there and a second larger mass. would you say that the egg is not viable?Oh, so cute. They have good color. I forgot how tiny they are...
D, are the deflated eggs the ones that hatched? Eggs that have died during development will have a whitish mass inside of them. How many eggs do you have?
it just seemed different because it seems that the two are not attached like they are separate massesThe other mass is the yolk sack. The baby cuttle lives on this as it grows and (hopefully) will not hatch until it is all or mostly absorbed. Occasionally, cuttles hatching with a small yolk sack attachment survive but what you hope is to not see the sack at hatching. It is believed that the nourishment from the last of the sack is what still maintains them while they learn to hunt.
