Are you handling her frequently? Just a heads up, Rosies aren't the best eaters, which is why I don't recommend them as a great starter tarantula.  Their fasting habits a lot of times confuses and frustrates novice keepers.  I'm not saying they're a bad beginner species,  just that there are far better choices out there. Try looking into some Brachys,  such as Brachypelma smithi or albopilisum.  Aphonopelma and Euthalus species are also great for beginners.  I'd recommend any of these over G.rosea.  I realize you already have her in your possession,  but keep those species in mind for future reference.</blockquote>
