Well my I found my rosie dehydrated yesterday morning, I ICU'd her and she drank some water, and her abdomen plumped back up, but she hasn't moved to speak of except slight leg wiggles, and her legs are still curled under her. I know, I know she's a rosie but this is not like her.

So for those of you who have nursed a dehydrated T back to health, how long was the recovery time?

So an update on my little rosie: After finding her in her water dish for a few more mornings, yesterday morning I found her curled up in a very death-curl looking way in her water dish (right-side up), barely responding to touch. I put her in an ICU but had to leave for work, when I got back...

I'm am almost positive that a tarantula would not set about to purposefully end its own life, if that is what you mean by committing suicide. However, I think a spider can definitely commit acts that will harm themselves, (think climbing too high and falling, hence not wanting too tall of an...

Get them their own room on the ferry. I will pick them up at the terminal. :D

Very cool, how many species are swimmers like this?

Har! That would be cool. But seriously, I know rosies are weird, she's proved that before on many occasions. But trying to drown herself seems to be a bit extreme. She seems to be perking up a bit now, tho.

Soooo... I got up this morning and the first thing I do (every morning) is check on my G Rosea sling. Today I find she is sitting fully IN her water dish, partially submerged. I know their lungs are on the underside of their abdomens, so I panicked and tipped her out of the dish. She...

Okay, thanks guys. I will pick up some peat on my way home and sprinkle a little around her tub.

Okay, so I've been following the substrate exploits of Sara the Rosie and taking the advice in regards to my own new 0.5" Rosie sling, Pixie. I started off on eco earth, but she clearly hated it, so after a few weeks I switched her to a coconut husk bark. After reading that bark-like stuff...

You just notice the people who don't read it on their own. That thread was one of the first sources I found when looking for info on my first T.

So they don't need a lot of calcium, but is it bad for them? I ask because I get this stuff to feed my crickets called Total Bites that has calcium among other things, and the box claimed it was a good gutloader for feeder crickets for Ts as well as reptiles.

Okay, thanks! Waxworms are great for my turtle especially because he has some health issues, but I didn't know about them and tarantulas. Maybe I will try mealworms. Also, one of my spiders (Pixie) just ate a cricket! So I feel better about that now. {D

So I just got my first Ts, two little half inch G. rosea slings! They are so cute... Anyway, I have crickets for them, but I was wondering if waxworms are doable at all at this size. I have waxworms for my turtle and they are less of a pain than crickets (no jumping!) Also I got my slings on...
