Message: <blockquote data-quote="csshepherdgirl" data-source="post: 22410" data-attributes="member: 2599">So, last week (Tuesday) I bought a Chilean rose.  The next day I took her to the vet and he sexed her as female and said she was healthy, albeit a slightly thin but hydrated.She has a hide and a bowl of water.  She lives in a Sterilite tub with holes punched out of the top.  Daytime temp stays around 75F and drops to about 68F at night.  Humidity stays at about 55-61% on dry EcoEarth bedding.Anyway, she last ate that Tuesday at the store.  I personally saw her munching on a cricket.  I tried feeding her again yesterday, and she refused food and I removed it after 24h.  She hasn't really moved from the same spot in a couple of days.  She spun a web in her critter keeper that they gave me to take home.I am a first time T owner teying to do ecerything right.  Am I worrying for nothing?  I think she.might possibly be pre-molt but I haven't seen the bald spot or anything.  I am gonna leave her be for a couple of weeks and then try feeding again.  I know Rosie's go off their feed a lot of times.Edited to add: she is definitely not in a death curl.  She stays in the exact same spot, just outside her hide, highly perched on her legs.</blockquote>
