I'm so surprised that many people say that Rosies are dull and boring creatures that spend most of their time sitting on a log. Mine will come out of its hiding pot everyday and start digging away at 9:00am and pick up dirt with its mandibles and start covering burrows and digging up new burrows. It has so far made 10 different crater-like regions and likes to put dirt in its water dish and dig under and around the dish. I actually find it rather fascinating.. the only thing I haven't seen yet is any webbing..... Athena doesn't web at all so I find it a little odd, oh well. Here's a pic of my Athena digging away with it's rear end sticking up in the air!:clap: :clap:
my new rosie Athena is a digging machine!

G.rosea will go through stages where they will dig, and then dig somewhere else...
Mine does.

I don't know if rosea's are really burrowers...I'm pretty sure they're mostly just ground-dwelling and will utilize a hide if provided. In my opinion, she just likes to redecorate. My two a.seemani's do that. They both have hides to use and plenty of sub to burrow if they wish. They use the hide and the extra dirt?: it gets scattered all over the place (especially into the water dish). I even put in some nice silk plant leaves. They drug those everywhere. Looks like a mini war-zone. I think some tarantulas just have fun shoveling dirt about.

simple, if she does lay one, freeze it if you are not ready to be a mother yet
