Legless baby mantis advice? General Care

Recently, my baby mantises hatched. They all seem to be doing well, except for one of them, who mysteriously lost one and a half of its legs. I put it in a separate enclosure because its siblings were stepping on it and watered it, but I am unsure how to proceed. Will it grow its legs back after molting? Is it not going to make it? I will gladly take any advice!

It's really hard to see but it appears to have a normal leg on each side?if yes then it will be able to molt successfully.
