So I noticed my latest E is missing half of one of his antennae. He's still got one fully functional and long one ,and he's still got his 2 smaller antennules. But do these parts grow back all the time, or only during a molt?
Thanks
Do the antennae grow back during a molt?

Re: Do the antennae grow back during a molt?
My jumbos molted from December last year until 1st of April or so. Te one who had been missing part of his antenna has grown it longer but not long enough yet.
Don't worry about the storms of life but rather learn to dance in the rain.
