I thought I’d wrap this up since you were all so helpful, and again I really appreciate it, but it seems she passed away last night despite my best efforts. I’m glad I found this site and maybe some day I’ll look into adopting another rose hair But for now I’m really going to miss her.

Thank you, I appreciate it. But I think after this I’m gonna take a break from caring for another critter, at least for a little while.

Would she be okay if I left to go to work? Or should I leave her be if I can’t be here to monitor her? Forgot to mention I have a roommate who can check in on her and give her water on their lunch/breaks every two hours or so until I get home

Oh! I didn’t know about flipping her over, I’ve just been pinch-holding her. She’s got two injured legs On the same side, would that impede her ability to right herself if/when she gets her strength back?

Okay thank you so much. I knew they could discard injured limbs I wasn’t sure if she would be able to in her state or if it bothered her. My last question would be should I continue to try giving her drops of water directly to her mouth?

Okay that makes sense. I’m overthinking things, I just don’t want to jostle her around too much. So she won’t spring back within a day if she is dehydrated, that does make me feel better. I’ll keep trying until she either gets better or dies I also did want to know, if the water is up to her...

She can’t reach the water even if it’s up to her fangs? I don’t have a syringe, I was using a straw to get small drops of water over her mouth, maybe why it didn’t seem to work...

I can’t get her mouth in the water because her legs are curled so tight. I try to gently pull her legs straight at least to go over the dish but I can’t get her fangs in the water withought pushing her down which I don’t want to do EDIT: okay I got a smaller dish and I got her fangs in at at...

Hello I adopted my rose hair about 12 or 13 years ago so I’m not sure how old she is or how long her previous owner had her. I’ve kept her in the same enclosure I adopted her in and fill it about halfway with loose coconut fiber substrate, since her glass tank is too tall for her (I think it’s...
