Hi,
So my husband got Rosie when she was mature and has had her for about 6-7ish years. Ive only lived with her for 5.
She had been in her hide for a while but came out a few weeks ago I noticed her butt had gotten way smaller and she wasn't moving much, not that she was an athlete before, but she had also stopped eating for at least 3 months.. so I forced her to drink, ICU'd her, she was kind of drunk moving.. and after a week of this she seemed to have more pep in her step, and looked like she was starting to feel her old self again. When I put her back in her enclosure she only sat on top of her hide, and i never saw her drink but in the morning it was always low and water around the bowl. So I presume she was drinking.
Yesterday she looked super weak and like she was going backwards again and was kind of scrunched between her hide and the glass, so i made her drink again.
I put her mouth in the water, and then she tired to get her whole body in the water thing.. i left her and she was in the same position in the morning so i took her out. but her on a flat lid with her face close to water.
She is super weak, no curled legs though.
I am scared I messed with her molting. She hasn't molted for a quite a while.
My husband says she is really old and prob just dying.
Is she just dying?
The pic is the state she is in now
Although I've lived with spiders and other critters for the last 5 years, being an Aussie I have never been a fan, AT ALL... but time has helped me fall in like, and even love with some.. Rosie is the first spider Ive loved, held and she made me want to learn more about her kind.. I reeeeeeealllly don't want her to die if I can help it.
Its weird but I'm tearing up as I type this..
Thanks for any help, and listening to a green T owner and her first post...
