yayyyy i went away for a few hours and her footprints were evreywhere!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

i picked her up and it took two minuites but she got out and said hello she didnt move much but shes right as rain today! lets hope she stays like that! i can tell its gonna take some getting used to, for only having two legs.

no movement today

this whole ordeal gave me a topic for my science fair project. I'm going to do it on what causes a hermit crab to have a bad molt. i already have the information, the resources, and the knowledge! also im going to slip a little protest sheet about crab in a cup there where i have them put thier name and e-mail and comments on a sheet and ill enter them all later

[smilie=cheer.gif] I do hope your baby is doing well for you & getting stronger every day. She sounds like a little trooper.

My poor little Maple had a bad molt & only has his claws & 2 legs, 1 of which is a gimpy leg. That happened a few months ago & he's still going strong. A bit of sunshine to focus on.

Keep us posted on her progress.

Oh I am so sorry. Make sure she is actually able to eat. VERY soft fresh foods until she is better (like molts again and has gell legs.)

Poor baby. I am pondering if you want to ISO her with a buddy until the next molt...
