hi i have hade my chilli rose for just over a year now and since i had her she has not molted once she goes off her food quite offten witch i know is normal for them she does no burrow at all

is there any thing i am doing wrong

here is a pic of her

I dont know how many spider keepers there are on here. I know that if you go into preloved pets there are spider keepers advertising spiders on there they may be able to give you advice im sure they wont mind if you rang even if just for advice. . Sorry cant help more.

ok thanks i will have a look

You need to take that sponge out as all it's doing is breeding bacteria.

Can't tell you if you're doing anything else wrong unless I can see a full tank pic and know what temp and humidity it's kept at.

ok then i was told by a pet shop that thay needed it in there it has been out of the tank for about a week now i will try and get some better pics for you

Doesn't surprise me in the least mate. Not many pet shops will give you good advice.

i am trying to find a new home for her i thing someone with more experiene take over anyone interested?

I have a Rosie plus other types for starters take the sponge out as it causes problems.

What your best off doing like i do is fill water bowl and top it up with pebbles not to big tho about 2-3 will do as it better for spider and crix.

As for feeding going off food it's normal my rosie stopped eating for over 6 months.

Other reason why some go off food is moulting or mites if none of these then it's just being fussy lol.

From your pic the setup is ok only the sponge.

I would have her if had the money and were local.

You can post spiders via Royal Mail but you need to send them Special delivery next day before 1pm. It won't cost much really... what size is she and how much would you want for her?
