My rosehair stopped eating again!! her butt is huge, shes just hanging on the side of the tank..she laid an egg sac right after summer was over and they were bad eggs!! is their a chance shes going to lay any more? why would she lay eggs if their not even fertile? she hasnt eaten in about two weeks or more but her abdomen isnt shrinking...im baffled and im worried, maybe the cold weather is makin her hang on the side i dunno, seems like a stupid question?:8o

Is her abdomen dark? She may be in premolt, or she may not be hungry, rosies have weird eating habits.

Well like i said, rosies have weird eating habits, some fast for a long time, and some eat all the time. No worries :D

I keep mine at room temp. which is usually between 68* and 72* and they all eat fine, and the only molting problem i had was with my big female blondi.
