Well she a chili roses just turned 3 years old. I noticed the odd behaviour beginning of December so its been 2 months. I'm not sure of size.
Ooo, very true, I should have said associated, not cause, my bad. Might be two different things going on. Do you have a link to your thread on her boo? Is there video? Current pics?I'm pretty sure premolt doesn't cause abnormal limb function. But it's good to hear she's still around.
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.
Hopefully the video shows up well. Before this happened I kept her tank nice and dry, with a medium sized water dish that I cleaned and filled every day. I would usually clean off the furniture or hiding decorations in the tank every week or two. I always felt like I was doing what I could correctly. Her symptoms have not altered berry much. Before she was in the ICU she was noticeably more curled in which is why I kept her in there for a few days. As of right now her actions are still the same, but she does not appear as dehydrated.
Please know I hate causing her stress or to be uncomfortable, but getting the video was only with the intention of helping her.
I would handle her every day for almost an hour without any problems until one morning when she was acting like this.
Hello. DKS are symptoms which can happen after some kind of poisoning issues. You speak about cleaning a lot: waterdish, furniture, etc. Is it possible your rosea was in contact with some cleaning products residues?

Sorry @Jbyd sucks to lose one
It's true that when you lose one, buying 2 or more to take your mind off the loss really helps What are you looking for to be the next one(s)?
I came late to this post but have read all of the updates and I am so sorry for your loss. you sound like a really caring fella and obviously miss your pet dearly. I hope you still continue with this wonderful hobby and look forward to future posts and hopefully a new T or two in your life.Thank you very much Tomoran for responding and sharing experiences. I am very sad so say Nikki has passed. I came home from work today and she was close to the end. All of her legs were curled under. I kept her with me and tried to offer water but at that point she could barely move her legs. We stayed on the couch and watched tv (she always had to face the tv or she would adjust to see it....yes I know she probably couldn't see it but it seemed like it) but after a bit she wouldn't move at all and was in a death curl...
I know a lot of people are scared of tarantulas or don't like them, but just like with other pets I feel like I lost one of the family, cause I guess I did. Anyways, if anything I want to use any experience I gain from this and progress with any future T's and go from there. Even before this I was hoping to get a few others, and if anything be very cautious and hopefully have a large healthy collection of them. As I want to be apart of this community for as long as I can. Looking through all the forums most people say it starts with one and doesn't always stop there. I look forward to future conversations and experiences and just want to thank everyone again.
