Well my Rose hair turned on it's back and I thought "Ohh good, molt incoming". Came back a few hours later, still in the same position and thought "Ahh I read it could take a few hours, I'll leave it"... Comes back almost a day and a half later and it's still there and I think it's started to smell a bit... I can't seem to see any injuries on it though.. All the others are just fine so not sure what's up. :(

If it's on its back (molting position) it could be stuck in molt. It's better to put it in an ICU and try to save its life than do nothing at all. You have nothing to lose but everything to gain in putting the T in an ICU asap
