caja Posted May 3, 2003 Share Posted May 3, 2003 i had a big hermit fight in my tank about a week ago or so and one of my blue legs ended up with only two legs on the left and one claw on the right . Poor hermie. I figured I'd leave him be and see what happens. Off he goes (hobbling) to my yellow watchmans burrow to hide out. Well, a week goes by and no hermie. This morning I look on the tank and there he is with four legs. WTH? If he grew two new legs will he also grow a new claw? Just curious, I'm trading them in for smaller models anyway, but I thought it was kind of cool. Link to comment
ParTeaGod Posted May 22, 2003 Share Posted May 22, 2003 Yes, he will grow a new claw if u look close u may see a little claw coming in. I think it took one of mine about a month or so to have a good sized claw again. Link to comment
