Crabby Lost his Pincher Claw!

Here is Mr. Crabby as promised. He is still not quite himself, for some reason he did not come out of his molt with a big claw, but only the small one. He is going through some seperation anxiety over losing his lovely pincher claw. The good news is that his claw will grow back during the next molt. I am trying not to disturb him too much still, because he needs to recooperate from losing a pincher claw, he needs no more added stress to his life right now. Tomorrow is cleaning day, his crabitat will get new sand and he will get a long awaited bath, so I may try to sneak a picture in during that if I can.

If anyone out there knows why a crab wouldn't come out of a molt with a pincher claw, leave me a comment, I would love to know if there is any additional support I can give him so that he can be a happy crab. He seems to be doing ok without the Pincher claw, but I worry about him. Since Hermit Crabs are exotic animals and cannot reproduce in captivity, if we own one, we should take extra special care of them, because they paid a big price when they were being snatched away from the wild.
