News on Crabby's Condition

Being concerned about Crabby's condition, I went to an online Hermit Crab community and asked about his lost claw. They said not to worry, just to make sure he can reach his food easily. The cause of the lost pincher claw was that the claw wasn't molting from the exoskeleton completely, so he had to drop it. If I feed him a good diet, he will start to grow a gel numb of a pincher claw and after a few molts he will be as good as new. So, when I start to see his gelly nub of a claw, I'll take a pic and post it, cause gel nub legs and claws look really gross and very interesting. See, its like a never ending science project, these critters get more and more interesting as the days wind on.
