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)
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 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.
Can a hermit crab live without one part of his leg?
yes
What if your hermit crab has lost its back leg will another grow in its place?
Yes, a hermit crab will grow its let back if it has lost one when it molts. It's easier to see if your hermit crab has signs of molting. If its lost a leg you will see that the leg will start to turn into a gelatin like substance. Which tells you its going inot the stage of molting.
Do you throw the hermit crabs leg away after it falls off?
You can if you want to, but you can actually keep it in there and let it serve as another food choice for the hermit crab.
Why does my hermit crab have growths on it?
The two most common growths on a hermit crab are a molt sack, which is a dark looking spot on the side of a crab where they store nutritious goo aimed at helping them survive their molt. the other one is a gel limb. When the hermit crab loses a leg or claw, they often grow a small translucent nub called a gel limb where the repacement will be.
Your hermit crab lost a part of its leg but only a bit what is happening?
they loose their legs like we loose teeth
Does a hermit crab have feet?
Yes hermit crabs do have feet, it is the little segment at the bottom of their leg. But if it is missing don't worry it will grow back the next time it molts.
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.
Can you put a new hermit crab with an old crab?
