I happened to notice this guy fell from his hammock upside down and it does not have the greatest strength... One of its back legs is broken. It did recently molt; I saw it's molt in the hammock.
She's in a deli cup with some misted paper towel and a cut up mealworm. Let's hope she makes it... She's moving around some and is somewhat receptive to air flow or movement.
Any other ideas of what to do? I think I'm trying what I can but idk. Thanks!

Update...
She didn't make it, but I did want to say that I tried sugar water on a q tip, as well as some mealworm guts and it seemed to really help her bring back her strength. She didn't have much if any use of her legs, but it gave her enough strength to shuffle around and make herself comfortable. 😔 And she got a pretty nice last treat and a warm house to warm back up in. 🥰

For future reference for anyone, I flipped her over and gently rubbed the q tip on her chelicerae and she immediately took to it. I flipped her back over and let her feast on it until she was plump.
