Bought a juvenile Amblypygi at a con yesterday but didn't notice it lacked both of its antennae/front legs. They had it in a communal setting so I assume they were eaten off.
I am worried that without them it won't be able to hunt, as they seem to be their primary way of sensing prey. Can they manage without them? My intuition/feeling from interacting with it and trying to feed it is that it is effectively blind without its antennae but I'm hoping that like most arachnids they have sense organs for vibrations too?
