[QUOTE="DustyD, post: 199484, member: 36911"] I think Tarantulafeets did an excellent job in summarizing G. rosea care. I am new to tarantula keeping and have 6 Ts including three G. rosea, one is about 3" and two I received last week are 3/4-1". So I can provide some thoughts. All seem to be somewhat prone to be outside their hides, certainly more so than G. pulchras. In the wild they come from arid scrublands so I keep their substrate dry ( the humidity in the room is 40-55 percent which does not seem to cause any visible problems for them). I just leave water in the dish. At this point, I feed the slings cut up pieces of superworm. No worrying about their dinner eluding them and I can tell if they have eaten or not. Not very exciting, but less worries for me. Superworms are easier for me to keep so I use them mostly, along with crickets from time to time. Even the larger G. rosea gets fed superworms, although I crush the larva's head to prevent biting and burrowing. In the picture, it looks like the t is going to pounce, but he didn't. He refused.
