G. Rosea (Rose Hair) Almost like a pet Rock?

Question

I know Rose hairs are like the Pet Rock of Tarantula, but whenever I go to pet her, she doesn't move until I give her a gentle nudge. It seems like either her reflexes are slow for some reason or that she is ignoring me.

Can you guys tell me if this is normal? Cuz I am scared, she doesn't move at all even if I touch her without giving her some kind of nudge.

Answer 1

Its just how they are, mine does the same thing. Just keep touching her back to make her move, sometimes they keep moving just depends on the mood I guess.

The other day mine escaped from her cage and we found her (well my dog did) under the kitchen cabnets and my dog tried to get at her and I guess was sniffing her pretty hard i guess b/c she was pretty ticked when I touched her back to make her move into the cup and instead of barely moving she ran! I was scared to pick her up since she was acting like that so I just got a cup lol.
