Re: help!
Depends.... How long have you had him? Is he active or sluggish? Is he eating? Did he just drop the part or do you know if there was a fight?

Re: help!
In that case...
She lost her limb in either a shell fight or she was very stressed out. That does not mean she will die soon. She may start getting stronger and when she molts she will start growing a new leg.
Is she eating? Is she active or is she sluggish and staying in one place?

Re: help!
If your hermie is not moving much and drinking lots of water she may be premolt. SHe may be too weak to sig a hole so take an ice cream scoop and dig her a small hole and put her in it. If she is interested she will bury herself in the hole for a few weeks.

Re: help!
Then leave her be. She will adjust and be fine. If there is a change, let us know.
