It was due for a molt. The next one will be...whenever. There is no set pattern. Just keep feeding her and she'll grow.
How did it break the legs? How high up is the lid of the container? Keep her hydrated and hopefully she will start eating again. If the lid is more than a body segment high from the substrate, add more substrate. If she continues downhill, you may want to move her to an ICU till she recovers or molts.Ok, I searched threads and realize that a broken leg is not usually a death sentence. How bout 3 broken legs? My B. boehmei has a leg in the back with the last 'segment' dragging, not gripping on anything. And two legs in the front near the pedipalps that are damaged (dried blood, no fur, etc), but seem to be gripping and getting her around ok. She is hanging around the lid and Im worried she could fall due to her handicapps, lol...but really, will she be ok? I just received her and desperately want her to get thru this. I am not bothering her and she has plenty of water, wont eat tho.
She was probably banged up in transit. How was she packed? You should contact whoever you bought her from. But boehmi are pretty skitiish and have gone off food for me as well after transit. Hopefully she will start eating in a few days, but contact the person you bought her from, you should not receive a T in that condition ever.
The seller should do something because if it was packed correctly it should not have been banged around that much. I have sent packages that looked like someone played soccer with the box, and the T's were fine inside.
