HORRIBLE Molt, please help!

[JJ050]

Well my cherax destuctor was going GREAT FOR YEARS! However after this molt, its claws were smaller and very deformed. Missing legs. Heres pics. Any idea what happened? Diet is bloodworms, flakes, shrimp pellets, brine shimp.

Heres what she looked like before this molt

this is just a guess on my part, but could it be due to a lack of calcium in his diet?

It was my impression shimp pellets had calcium? Anywhoo what should I do? Is she too far gone to recover?

Mine went through the same thing. After 2 molts she is back to normal but hasent molted in like a year after those two in a month. Good luck!

Oops, didnt see you were feeding shrimp pelletes, so i guess that removes calcium deficiency...

Salt aids the molting process greatly, as does turning the light off for some time during the day or night. What about that?
