Are these all new pets or do you have any experience with tarantulas? If they are new I would reccomend a little more caution. Orange baboons can be fast and very aggressive. Getting tagged won't be a nice experience.

The Usambara's temperment was judged carefully.It has never reared up at me at all and when it came to getting it out,I let it crawl onto me.Right now it's temperment is more like a pink toe than an OBT.

Your G. rosea could be nearing a molt, all tarantulas will stop eating for a time before they molt. Keep an eye on it and make sure to keep its water dish full.

You may also want to up the humidity, you can do this by getting the substrate moist slightly and partially covering the top of the cage with plastic wrap.
