Hisser Roach has broken legs

[Abby]

Hi guys,

I just adopted 4 hisser roaches from a friend who couldn't keep them anymore. I can tell that they are 3 males due to the horns and possibly a female or young male since no horns.
One of the roaches looked weird to me and I noticed that the back 2 legs seem to be broken since he doesn't move hem at all. He still has the whole legs but if they get caught over the carapace or are in a weird angle he doesn't control them.

I have tarantulas and I know that they cast off the broken legs. What about roaches? Would this affect his molts? Should i help him in any way?

I tried doing a search and it came back with no results.
Please help

If not mature he will molt and repair the damaged legs. Even without the legs he will be able to survive just fine. Hissers are battle tanks.

Thanks for the reply


I wasn't sure if I should remove him frm the tank until he got better, I will leave him alone and let him be his awesome self.

Tiny, tiny splints

Scoolman's right. As long as he can get to the chow he'll be fine.

I had a large male and a few females survive about 8 weeks with no food or water.
