Hey everyone! I'm new to the page and I have an emergency going on with my crayfish! My male and female are separated by a divider. Which usually works. But somehow the male got to the female and now both of her arms are gone. I'm not sure if they'll grow back cause they're fully gone. But now shes just laying on her side. I'm not sure if he killed her or if shes trying to molt to get her arms back. Any information helps!
 
Never kept Crays so hopefully someone more knowledgeable will come by but I do know crayfish can regrow limbs given clean water and good food. I would suspect if she survives the initial trauma and can still eat she’d get them back over the next few molts.
 
Yes, that is accurate info provided. They climb easily.

You can feed her directly putting food in front of her til she recovers, let's hope.

Very clean water can help reduce the chances of infection and fungus type things.

Do you recall when the last time she molted was?

What other fish do you have in there?
