maimed mantid

woke up this morning to find that my praying mantis decided to molt during the night. one problem there was a crik in there and it was eating one of his forearm-pincer things as he was finishing his molt. so now he has one pincer-thing and is acting all wozzyish. will he just regrow the missing appendage like a T or will it severly affect him?

providing he can still eat, and survives through several moults he should be fine and grow it back. If he has trouble catching/eating from now your going to have to give him food directly with tweasers.
BTW never leave crickets in with them when theyre ready to moult.
