Default very urgent help needed

ok so my asian mantis ate yesterday and i also misted her yesterday and seemed fine until i checked today and some of her claw/hand gripper has fallen off on both hands.

im really worried about her as it looks as if she wont be able to catch her food. the cricket cant have done it because i watched the whole time.

ok so she is missing number 1 and 2 on one hand and just number 2 on the other



what should i do will she be ok ?

If it has not lost the entire of the other leg it may have a chance. Feed it smaller prey than usual and keep an eye on it to make sure it feeds. I wouldnt build your hopes up though but it is worth a try. You could also try feeding it with forceps. Nothing lurking in its viv that may havedone it?
