How long has your rose hair gone w/o eating

[wuk88]

mine is going on about six months now, last thing she ate was a pinkie and wont touch food since. I was just wondering how much longer she can go w/o eating?

mine is about a month and a half to two months and counting. They seems to eat a lot and then nothing. That is another thing about rosies, they have messed up eating habits. for more info see the sticky.

Mine went for about a month without eating.
Yesterday she ate one small cricket.
She is VERY pre-molt, and has a bad attitude right now
I think she ate the cricket because it bothered her, not because she was hungry:?

i don't know from experience but i read one place they can decide not to eat for upt o 8 months

Luckily, my rosie has not pulled the "I don't want to eat" thing with me. She is fat healthy and eats any time I introduce food to her.

Mine hasn't in about let's say 3-4 months now ... But I noticed a black butt a few days ago, so just premolt behaviour.

When my G. rosea was .75" it went 2 months without eating, then it molted. Then it molted again 2.5 months later, without a long fasting period.

Mine goes bout two or three weeks with out eating then he'll / she'll caught one and eat it.

Ive had mine now for about 3 years and have never actually seen it eat.

Well, our rosie went for right about a year and a half without eating. I figure she never ate since I kept removing the same amount of crix I gave her. She molted a couple of months ago and it was the first time since I have had her. I have had her for about 2.5 years now. Anyway she is really dark now and has a purple tint to her carapace. Before she was a dirty brownish tan color. Hmmm. She eats very well now.

Mine went for about a year without eating and then got her appetite back. She's been eating well ever since. I wouldn't worry about it. This species often pulls a "fast" one on you. Oh man, I can't believe I just typed that. Oh man, I can't believe I'm about to click on 'Submit Reply'....
