yeah, you should check, males have a spur on their heel, and females dont, it is very visible so it shouldnt be hard to tell

Are you still keeping them together? If so, that could be the reason - the female is the dominant one and the male doesn't get enough to eat, drink, or time to bask.

Sepioteuthis is definitely on to something. I would move one out ASAP when you get the new cages.
