Methods and precautions for raising spiders

There are many species of spiders, and they have a variety of diets, are resistant to hunger, have strong vitality, and are easy to raise. As long as they have food, water, and shelter, they can be raised normally. For example, the main species of spiders raised as pets at home are: bird spiders, black widow spiders, golden spiders, burrowing wolf spiders, Chinese wolf spiders, big-bellied orb spiders, etc. These are all non-toxic spiders with high economic value and are very suitable for novices to raise.

For the breeding of hunting spiders, generally large-mouthed cans, wide-mouthed bottles, and specimen bottles can be used as breeding tools. However, the mouth of the bottle should be sealed with double-layer gauze, and some twisted cardboard or small firewood stalks should be placed inside for the spiders to climb and hide. For the breeding of web-building spiders, the spider cage is made of white plastic window screens, with a length, width, and height of 20 cm each. A circular hole with a diameter of 10 cm is opened on one side of the cage, and a cloth bag with two empty ends is sewn to the edge of the circular hole as an operating hole. The cloth bag is usually tied with a rubber band and opened only when operating. The four corners of the cage are fixed to the cage frame with four cloth straps to fix the spider cage into shape.

Regarding the feeding of spiders, the smaller the spider, the higher the feeding frequency, and the larger the spider, the lower the frequency. Spiders do not need to be fed for a period of time after molting, because their exoskeletons have not yet hardened. Feeding live feed at this time may cause harm to the spider. Similarly, if the spider stops eating, the live feed left in the breeding box must be removed to prevent the spider from being harmed during the molting period. Now raising spiders is becoming more and more popular and fashionable. Spiders as alternative pets have been accepted and loved by more people. But when raising spiders, you still have to pay attention. Because spiders are poisonous, but the degree of toxicity of different species of spiders is different. In the process of raising spiders, you must be careful not to be bitten by spiders, and disinfect them in time when you are bitten. And breeders must not raise spiders with very strong toxicity.

Note: Before raising a spider, you should understand its habits and nutritional needs, provide appropriate feed and water, clean the spider's living environment regularly, and prevent infection with bacteria.

Taboos: Do not touch spiders casually, do not expose spiders to direct sunlight, do not feed spiders too much raw meat and animal offal, and do not place different types of spiders in the same container.

Content extension: Raising spiders can cultivate people's observation ability and sense of responsibility, but it is also necessary to pay attention to safety and hygiene issues. In the process of raising spiders, you can learn a lot about animals and ecology, and you can also understand the differences and characteristics between different types of spiders.
