    Quick question:

    I purchased an Emerald crab missing one right leg and two of it's front claws.

    It is still able to get around, albeit slowly, and is also still able to eat (awkwardly).

    Will it regrow all of it's appendages back duing a molt? How often do they molt?

    yes and it depends on how much it eats and how quickly it grows

    Sorry.

    I posted this on 3 different forums. I started with the "hello forum" and noticed that there were more appropriate forums for this topic to be discussed.
