Message: <blockquote data-quote="Adrian le Plastrier" data-source="post: 12673" data-attributes="member: 712">Hey there I have a concern about my baby red rump i purchased at the beginning of the year(2013). she molted twice already and her third molt is due. my problem is that one day when i looked at her she was very restless, then the next day she was very still. no movement what so ever. so i thought she died. i left her in the container because i was sad that she was gone and wanted to still see her.  last night i looked at the container again to see my spider, and noticed that both her back legs moved. i tapped the container again, and with out fail, the legs moved up and down a few times. almost like the spider is moving her legs.  what i want to know is she still alive and maybe in a state of hibernation or trying to molt but cant because she is too small.  please help me out, any assistance will be greatly appreciated.</blockquote>
