Hello, I posted a bit ago about my rose hair not eating. She hasn't eaten for at least a month and a half now. She molted about 3 or 4 days ago (which I'm SUPER excited about!). When should I offer her food? How do I know when her skin is hard?. Her not eating worries me! Can I touch her molted skin with my bare hands?

Also, has anyone ever saved the molted body? I'm thinking of putting it in resin and making a sculpture out of it :p

if she's and adult give her about 2 weeks, if she's younger 1 week. Don't worry about her not eating. I've seen Rosies hit 10 months with no problems. Yes you can touch the molt with your bare hands. I used to save the molts, but I don't do well with fragile things...some one else will have to help you there lol
