One eyed Crab

Post by Guest » Thu Sep 13, 2007 11:29 pm

I just picked up some more crabs from PetSmart. One of the crabs I got only has one eye! I assumed he lost it in a fight. Will this grow back during molting?

Yes, it will grow back, but it's not known if he'll be able to see out of it after that. He'll be fine, though, I've seen lots of one-eyed hermies.

I bought a one-eyed hermie a few monthes ago, and she just came up from her molt. When she came up she had a jelly eye.

Weasel had one eye, but it grew out now.
