Tweetie

Post by Guest » Sat May 30, 2009 4:08 pm

The bottom of my hermit crab Tweetie's leg came off. So one leg is shorter than the others. But that happened a few weeks ago, even after the crabs were switched to a 10 gallon with sand, her foot did not grow back. Does that mean there is something wrong with the calcium sand preventing her foot from growing back?

No the substrate has nothing to do with it. I have a crab whose bottom part of his leg is missing. IT will grow back when he/she molts! :D

The crabs can lose the tips of their feet sometimes. :wink: Sometimes they come that way and sometimes they lose them by accident in the crabitat. :)

Either way, they will grow back after one molt. :D
