[QUOTE="Jbyd, post: 94278, member: 11635"] Hi, I would like to start by saying this is the first post to a forum, I apologize for anything done incorrectly but I am hoping for some input. My first tarantula is a Rosie, I haven't had her for a long time either. I picked her up from a local pet store. She moulted without any issues a few months ago. After two weeks I began feeding her normally after she hardened. She ate two or three crickets every week and a half to two weeks. Lately she has been acting really strange. If there is any vibration she flails her legs quickly and runs around. Not like she had ever acted before. She was then showing signs of dehydration so I have kept her in a high humidity ICU with plenty of water and she is drinking. Although not looking as dehydrated she will still run around almost like she lost control of her legs. I hate to cause her more stress but I will try and get a video in the hopes of trying to save her. Any suggestions would be welcome. [/QUOTE]
