its really important they get alot of calcium what are you feeding them
they usually dont grow back until they molt
they should not lose limbs unless they are fighting worry about that problem first

i feed them lettuce. i think they are fighting at night. they all have there own cave. its just when they come out at night i have a big white one that fights the others if they get to close. what kinda conditions do they need to molt
i put a small little try in there for them. someone told me they where land crabs, so they dont need very much water at all, that they get most of it from food, and the one time a year they migrate to the ocean to breed. sould i give thm more water?softturtle said:
They probally need a little humidity. Esp when they are going to molt.
I have seen people keep them in tanks that have 3/4 land and 1/4 of water about an inch deep.

You should also give them some dietary variety, soft algae, soft aquarium plants like elodea, soaked nori (for iodine), even a little canned cat food dusted with reptical. lettuce is just not enough.
