Once the pinky is down her throat she's fine. Does not regurgitate and poops fine. She just will not eat. Her temps are 90 in the bask zone, 80 on cool side. She's in a smallish container with two hide, water dish, sand to burrow, and she seems active at night, and alert whenever I handle her. So I'm lost. Is this normal for Rosys? Will she out grow this? Should I keep manually feeding her. I feed pinkies, and I've tried live and F/T. Could the pinkies intimidate her? She's very little. I just want her happy and healthy. There is no sign of illness. She is such a sweetheart, and I just don't wanna lose her!

I high lighted the problem with your set up. You should only set a small water dish in the cage once every three to four days. Leave it for no more than 24 hours then remove. Humidity is not good for Rosie. If the humidity to high it will cause you all kinds of problems.
