I just got a rose hair it's only about the size of a dime should I keep him in a deli cup for now? And are you able to sex them this young?

Too young to sex.

Normally sexing becomes possible by 2 or 3 inches legspan.

A deli cup would make it easier for your rose hair to catch it's prey. But that is up to you. I, personally, would keep it in the deli or move it to a jar.

Congrats on your new rose hair!

Rose Hairs are one of the most docile species of T's. You can handle them without that much risk of being bitten or having Hairs kicked at you. Just follow the same rules as handling any other Spider (watch out for the signs, sit on the floor etc.)
