Well, if it makes you feel any better, one of my FB's lost a leg too, but it grew back! I had read that they grow back, but when it got WORSE (the leg was, like, rotting away, getting shorter), I figured it had some horrible infection that was going to kill it. THEN, when most of the leg was gone, the wound began to close over itself. Now, months later, the leg is back and the foot is nearly completely grown back with little toes on it. Soon, it'll be normal again, I think. I did take it out once and put some H2O2 on the sore, but other than that, nature took care of itself.
