Looks nice. As a sidenote: Be careful with stones! G. roseas -can- start digging quite some suddenly and in case she digs out the holding substrate below that stone and it falls onto her...you get the idea.

I've worried about that before. She's not a digger though. I'm not too worried now, but I don't know how else to make her hide.

@ Osmo you know how long it would take to carve stone.
@Qp(qaurter pound) you need a grinder with a cup wheel to grind stone. Unless it is a very large rock it will crack.
My suggestion is wash them with just water. No soap. Bake them at 360 degrees for 30 minutes. Take them out and let them cool. Use a hot glue gun and glue the stones together. Glue the rock to the bottle of your plastic cage. It will never fall over. Let sit for an hour and put your rosie back in.

Osmo was talking about carving wood NOT stone. The OP asked how else to make the hide if they didn't use stone, and Osmo's suggestion was wood (as shown in the above quote).

Ya I was talking about wood giving him an idea for something else :)

Dead wood that is well baked to kill off baddies. Lighter and less dangerous!

OP: if you like the stone aesthetic, hot glue them to the side of the enclosure. That way, on the off chance she digs under it, you won't have to scoop out spider road pizza.

Just an addendum: Nice enclosure, btw. Simple and functional :)
