Came back from being away for a few days. All looked and seemed just fine, when I noticed the right read leg was not looking normal. It appeared to be broken and not in the normal position. Will the leg mend itself? The mantis ...no doubt has no problem eating, just getting around the habitat. It did swap habitats with the other mantis. 1 habitat is 24" high and the 2nd is 14" high.

 
If adult no it will not mend at all.... If nymph the younger the better... Can take a few moults to fix a broken limb...
