Answer
This is a tough one and I don't normally do this but I think I"m going to refer you to some links on a forum where I am an administrator. We've had a few members over the past year have some little guys like yours and have chronicled their journeys taking care of them.

The one above is a story about a crab that only had one eye.
No legs or anything else


This one had two back legs
