I woke up this morning to find my female eurycantha calcarata on her back, she was alive but seems really lethargic and is struggling to walk and climb. I have moved her into a smaller enclosure away from the others, so I can monitor her eating. Im going out to get some bramble from a different source incase the ones they are on have pesticides on. Ive also given her a drop of honey to help. She's not quite fully grown yet and my male seems absolutely fine.

Does anyone know what else might be causing this? Is there anything else I can do to help her?

It sounds like she was poisoned unfortunately, happened to me when I owned D. gigantea.

any update, she may have been poisoned as previously mentioned or she could just be old and getting weak.

I re-read this and just saw she isn't mature so yeah disregard old age, poisoning seems possible still or maybe exposure to temps higher or lower than you thought.
