Message: <blockquote data-quote="rénee" data-source="post: 64433" data-attributes="member: 4153">Since I found out and experienced coco husk for myself I wanted to switch, but having my G.Rosea in pre-molt I figured I would wait till she is done. Coming this Saturday it will now have been 2 weeks since she molted, I'm just wondering when is it alright to rehouse her, I havnt bothered dropping in food yet. She looks like she is still tired from the molt, she still lays flat out legs sprawled at times, I don't want to go disturbing her if she is not fully ready. I'm thinking I will drop a cricket in within the next week and if she eats it then I can rehouse her, if not then I will wait till she does eat? Is there any other kind of "indications" that you can look for that shows that she is recovered(I don't really want to say that word, but I'm not sure how else to describe it lol). I know you got to wait till the exoskeleton forms, but honestly not sure what that really would look like since this is her first molt with me <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />Thanks guys, I know its a ridiculous question</blockquote>
