[QUOTE="Tomoran, post: 66113, member: 1152"] Yup, I have to agree with [USER=3779]@Meludox[/USER]; she looks like she is in really good shape. Does she have water available to her? Like she said, this species has a reputation for its fasts, some of which are very long. There was once a "contest" on another board where folks were trying to see whose rosie had fasted for the longest. I think the "winner's" T hadn't eaten in over a year. :) If you're in a locale where it gets cold for the winter, this species will often start a fast during the colder months, so it's possible this is what you're experiencing. Or, it could be premolt. When was her last shed? If she hasn't fasted on you yet, you're one of the lucky ones! ;) [/QUOTE]
