AND THIS IS "Gimpy" She is one of my fav's she has been growing her small claw and another leg now for over 3 month's I baby her. Hand feed her, help her along never know when she might go down but, she comes to the glass when she wants some hand feeding. I worry so much about her always looking for her!

Poor Little Crabbie is Lucky to have you to help her along :) Boy She does look a lil worse for wear, eh? With the TLC you show and give her, She should come along just fine :)

Thanks~ That's why we bought her because she was so weak.
Too top off that she not only has one leg and one small claw missing one of her legs is half of what it should be! Poor thing I love her to death!
After I hand feed her she loves to sit in my hand and kind of cuddle it it's hard to say what she's doing but, that's what it seems like?

Those picture are really neat of your molting crab. Nice to get some slow action captured. Awwee your baby girl hermie is so cute. I am glad she found someone like you. Hope fully she will have a full recover one day. Best of wishes to her and your hand feeding method.
