[QUOTE="Nicolas C, post: 117038, member: 3795"] I'm not sure I understood well (my english is bad...): do you mean that your T lost her two first legs? Or is did she lose only one of her second front legs? Do you have an idea why this happened? Was there some kind of fight with too big a prey? Or is it possible she might have fallen from the top of the enclosure? What is the height between top and substrate? And what decoration? Sometimes these things happen without us knowing the reason (one of my Ybyrapora diversipes lost one leg and one pedipalp in one week, and I still don't know why)... Your T will be able to eat the preys without problems (maybe smaller preys just to be extra sure?) if she's only missing one or two legs. And they will regenerate with next molt (smaller, but after some molts they will have same size as the other legs). But the concern is: why did it happened and what can you do to stop this - of course if it's the second leg out of eight she's losing (if there's anything you can do)... [/QUOTE]
