Rosies hate moisture in the substrate. Make sure it's bone-dry for her with a full water dish of course.Just got this for my Chilean Rose Hair. The guy in the shop said it'd be fine for that species but she doesn't seem to be taking to it
This does feel fairly dry but she's doing everything she can to avoid being on it. I'll be angry if it turns out to be the wrong one as he assured me it was okay for itRosies hate moisture in the substrate. Make sure it's bone-dry for her with a full water dish of course.
Once it dries out the rosea will be fine sometimes when i fill my roseas bowl i get a little water on the substrate and he avoids it like the plague. He either climbs on the sides of the enclosure or once he figures out that only a small spot is wet hell move to a dry areaThis does feel fairly dry but she's doing everything she can to avoid being on it.

If it's really as described above, a peat and vermiculite mixture, it'll be just fine for her. I would take 1/3 out and really dry it out in the oven, or on a tarp in the sun, then put it back in as a top layer and see if she likes it better. The rest will dry over time.Oh ok thank you.
