Will a hermit crab die if it loses a leg or pincher?
It depends on how healthy the hermit crab is in my opinion
Who got the crab with the missing leg?
There is not one person who has a hermit crab with a missing leg. I found a hermit crab with a missing leg and even though the store keeper told me that he had a missing leg I still felt I had a bond with him. If you do get a hermit crab with a missing leg you just have to wait until it molts. Once it molts the leg will grow back and it will be like it never had a missing leg in the first place.
What does it mean when your crab has lost a couple of legs over night?
It is ok for your hermit crab to lose only one leg in a certain amount of time but if your crab is losing more than one leg a nite put them in an isolated tank because there is a chance your crab may be dying.
What do you do if your Hermit Crabs loose legs?
you don't need to do anything a hermit crab will do it itself. if a hermit crab losses a leg it will grow back. it will grow back after molting.
How do you take care of a hermit crab leg injury?
I actually did get pinched by a hermit crab earlier today. I did not do anything . You probably felt a little sting but you do not have to do anything. (to prevent any pinches keep your hand flat as you can when you hold your hermit crab)
Can a hermit crab live without one part of his leg?

Is it okay for a hermit crab to have a broken leg?

What if your hermit crab has lost its back leg will another grow in its place?

When a hermit crab molts does it lose its body parts?
