    Hey everyone! I have a pet prawn and home and it lost a claw. The next day later it molted and lost another claw and a leg! Is this normal? And plus I would like to know how many times do they molt. Like twice a month? I don't know. Here's a picture of it. (

    Any lost limbs will be reborn after moulting but new craws may appear smaller. After second moulting, those smaller craws become normal size again. A shrimp/prawn moults very regularly and its period can be calculated if you keep a records.
