It's prabably molting. How long has it been in its burrow? If it is refusing food it could be molting. It generally is nothing to worry about. It can easily survive one week without food or water.

Next person to reply gets my turn. I only have one tarantula. I just like guessing.

@sdsnybny I think you posted this in the wrong spot

Could be premolt, is abdomen black? Sometimes premolt can a while, even for slings. If it isn't eating, leave it alone as molting is a stressful time in a tarantulas life.

I think more ventalation would be better so you don't get any stagnant conditions in there. More holes couldn't hurt. Just keep a water dish at all times and you should be good.

It looks like there may be a wood chip stuck in there, and if there is DONT PULL IT OUT. If you pull it out it will die. My best recommendation to just leave it until it molts. How far is there distance from the top of enclosure to substrate? Your tarantula will hopefully solve it itself when it...

That is definitely premolt, and it looks to be pretty far into premolt.

The general rule is that the distance from the substrate to the top of enclosure should be no more than 1.5 the LS of your tarantula. If the distance is that or less than that it is ok.

Could it possibly be a piece of subtrate or other material in its enclosure somehow stuck to its abdomen? Definitely not a G rosea. Probably A species of the aphonphelma genus.

Sure

That's ok did I cover what you needed?

If you want a good book on care of tarantulas, you should get a tarantula keepers guide. Although some of the info in the book is slightly outdated, it is referred to by some as "the tarantula bible." I think this is what you are asking your post is confusing
