What do you need to pay attention to when raising spiders? It s up to the male and female!

Precautions for keeping spiders

1. The layout of the environment is exquisite, if you make it too complicated, it will hinder the predation of spiders, so that the food can take advantage of the opportunity to drill into some places where spiders can't enter, so it is best to be simple and clear. Dodging is actually dispensable for ground-dwelling spiders, but having an avoidance is not a bad thing, and dodging can improve the spider's sense of security. Burrowing spiders make burrows on their own, while arboreal spiders prefer to climb high and weave webs to live.

2. The light should be sufficient, and if the conditions are met, it can be taken to the outside to see the light. (Spiders don't like light, so there should be a place to avoid the sun when they see light to ensure the safety of spiders), usually the windows should be opened frequently, but avoid direct sunlight.

3. Remember to change food every once in a while, you can't eat one flavor of food for a long time, and you can't eat too much.

4. Because of the long transportation and the unfamiliarity of the new environment, most spiders may not eat after settling down. Therefore, it is recommended to choose to rest first, and the spiders will eat after a few days of adaptation.

5. The breeding of spiders is mainly based on small animals, such as mealworms, small earthworms, etc., and artificial compound feed can also be used if conditions permit.

6. The larvae molt for a few weeks to a few months, and when molting, they will lay a layer of net on the ground and lie on it with their feet facing the sky, so don't disturb it, let alone think it's dead and move it, or throw it away. The spiders start not eating a few days before molting, and start feeding again 5 days after molting.

7. A good ventilation environment can make the young spiders strong, reduce diseases, and safely pass each molt. Air pollution, humidity, and sultry heat are the main causes of the death of young spiders. If the ventilation is not good, the food debris is not cleaned up in time may cause spider mites, and the symptoms are small white spots on the body, so it is necessary to observe the spider's body frequently.

8. Raising spiders needs to have the ability to meet their growth environment, most of the spiders we raise are terrestrial types (arboreal type needs a high humidity environment), so the humidity requirements are not very high, and the humidity should be kept at about 65. Juvenile spiders need a more moist environment than adult spiders, and adult spiders instead prefer a drier environment, so dry out the soil a little.

9. The temperature should be controlled between 25-30, the temperature difference between day and night should not be too large, pay attention to cooling and heat prevention in summer, and pay attention to warming and keeping warm in winter to ensure the healthy life of young spiders.

There are some pet spiders when it is relatively rare, many pet spiders because they are tropical species, so the temperature must be around 25 degrees when raising, it is best not to be lower than 20 degrees, the temperature is not a big problem, but the low temperature will affect its feeding, if it is a few degrees or below zero, then there is a danger to life.

The best place to raise spiders is a wooden box, and it is best to choose the right box according to the size of the spider when choosing, and at the same time, choose according to the species of spider, so that they will have a sense of security when they inhabit it.

And spiders come from different places will have certain requirements for temperature and humidity, it can be said that it is a very squeamish pet, if it is like a drier area, young spiders may die of dehydration, even if it is a large one, it will molt, if it is too humid and will be sick, so you need to pay attention.

After the spider changes to a new environment, it is easy to feel insecure, and at this time, the spider will become aggressive or will not eat. You can put the spider in a terrarium and stay in the dark for two or three days, so that it will not be nervous and not eat.

Webing is the nature of spiders and their means of predation. It can be said that the nest they weave out of spider webs is their home. Therefore, if you raise such spiders, you must be careful not to clean the cobwebs frequently, otherwise it is easy to be bitten, and it is also easy to cause the spider to die of sensitive nerves.

Coconut clay is the bedding material for pet spiders. Although it is generally sterile when purchased, it is easy to breed bacteria because it needs to be soaked and used, so be sure to clean the coconut soil regularly, otherwise it is easy to cause spiders to get sick or even die.

Because most pet spiders are poisonous, you must not start raising them on a daily basis, although a bite will not pose a threat to life, but the pain is also unbearable. Therefore, you must pay attention to the process of raising and try to wear gloves.

1.What do spiders eat?

Hairy spider is a wandering type of spider, and does not use a web to prey, in the natural environment, generally to the ground-dwelling insects as the staple food, larger varieties will occasionally prey on small rodents, although some species are called bird-eating, but it actively preys on birds is not a big chance, of course, in addition to the appearance of sick birds in front of the eyes, in the artificial feeding of crickets are generally fed, larger varieties can occasionally feed suckling mice, but it is not recommended to take adult mice to feed spiders, because the counterattack of adult mice may cause spiders.

2.How often and how much at once?

The frequency of feeding varies from breed to breed, but there are a few principles:1No feeding is required for seven days after hulling.

2.The smaller the spider, the higher the feeding frequency, and the larger the spider, the lower the frequency.

3.The amount of each feeding should be determined according to the amount of the last feeding and whether there is any leftovers, the size of the belly, and whether there are signs of shelling.

3.What is the size of the food that needs to be fed?

As far as possible, it should not exceed 1 2 of the spider's body length, if it can be less than 1 3, it is best to find that the spider has signs of shedding its shell, if it is fed with crickets, its head must be gently crushed to reduce its activity and prevent it from attacking the spider in the shell.

4.Can I feed other insects?

As far as the feed of wild animals is concerned, experts mostly recommend that the food be as diverse as possible, the higher the animal, the more so, but as far as the spider is concerned, it is not necessary to do so, only need to feed the cricket, it can roughly meet the basic needs of healthy feeding, and most of the insects collected from the wild mostly belong to the order Orthoptera, its nutritional value, and crickets are almost the same, rather than so, it is better to strengthen the nutritional value of crickets, that is, before the crickets are not taken to feed the spiders, give him a few meals of fish feed or vegetables.

5.How much space do you need?

Spiders are not active animals, the breeding box does not need to be too large, 1-3 cm larvae can be packed in a round box with a diameter of 5 cm, 4-6 cm larvae can be raised in a small portable aquarium, and individuals over 6 cm can be raised in a 30x20x20 (cm) size box.

The red rose-haired spider has a relatively docile personality.

I saw a magazine that said that the spider is very easy to raise, you can use a small box to put it, don't worry too much, spray it with less water every once in a while, and feed it some small insects for a week or so, such as crickets (may be specially fed to spiders and sold), but these methods are suitable for larger spiders, if it is a small species, it should be the same, I think it can be placed in a transparent container with a lid, mainly to spray it with some water every once in a while, and feed it some food (insects).
