Been away for several weeks and before leaving a large rosehair molted - bought about a year ago and no idea of history - but did not want to feed too soon, so let it wait 3 weeks until return.
All tanks were cleaned and fresh water sources cleaned and extras added for the duration, so did not want to have possible crix running around/dying in one and rotting away, so all fasted.
When I got back most ate readily as expected - and first molt in my possesion this rosehair ate like a monster, and regular as clockwork.
Not an aggressive T; but voracious eater normally ready to leap across cage for prey. 'Bout six weeks now, and this T has eaten nothing since molt.
I KNOW that rosies are unpredictable, but does this have something to do with maturity?
