pre molt question

[lazorkat]

so my G rosea has gone into pre molt she is very noticeably darker in color and has blocked her self in her hide .... i was wondering how long she will be blocked up in her hide prior to molt .... she has been in her hide like this now for 11 days

That seems like kind of a long time but honestly my P pulcher sometimes holes up for a week or two and I never see him.

 

[lazorkat]

it does seem long she is still in there .. sigh starting to worry now

 

[Josh]

Don't worry. She's probably fine. Just being shy!

 

[lazorkat]

she will come out to eat if she needs to right i have a cricket in there and i attempt to feed super worms to her via tongs ?

If she is in premolt she won't eat. The last time my Rosie molted I was waiting for a good two weeks before the event actually occurred. Some Ts just take a really long time. Don't worry about the eating thing...with my Rosie it was 2 full months between feedings and she was fine.
