Please help! Crayfish not eating, legs look necrotic
Posted: Fri Mar 20, 2015 10:08 am
My buddy Falcon has been looking really bad for a while now. I had thought it was because I recently relocated him but I'm realizing that he has these dark splotches across his legs and one of this legs has completely broken down. He hasn't eaten much of any food I have given him for weeks now and I don't know why. It seems like he gets really excited about food and grasps around for it but doesn't always recognize it when he touches it and sometimes he'll just drop the food and walk away from it without eating any. He hasn't molted in over a year. I have no idea what to do, please please someone tell me what I'm doing wrong. He's only about 3 years old and his breeder told me he should live for 5 so it shouldn't be that. Here's a picture where you can see his claws which have the dark scarring/necrotic look like his leg did. It's hard to get a picture of his leg but it basically just broke off halfway down and there's a big dark spot there now. http://imgur.com/fXznvRr
