What to feed house spiders?

Domestic spiders should mainly be fed with small flying insects and small animals, such as mosquitoes or flies, mealworms, small earthworms, small ants, etc. They can also be fed with animal blood (be careful not to add salt to the blood).

If conditions permit, artificial compound feed can also be used. The formula can be: 50% egg yolk, 20% honey, 20% milk, 4% vitamin additives, 3% breast milk, mix them and feed them on a dish, or you can put them on a sponge.

Because the spider is small, it does not require a large container, so this spider is easy to raise.

1. Find a bottle and put some soil in it. A glass bottle is better so that the spiders can't crawl out.

2. Insert something that allows the little spider to weave a web and climb (I used a small branch).

The environment required by Spider-Man:

During the incubation period, the eggs have strict requirements on the external temperature and humidity. Temperatures below 20°C or above 30°C, and humidity below 60°C or above 70°C will affect the hatching rate of the eggs. This is because the eggs need to complete the embryonic development in the egg sac so that the young spiders can hatch from the egg sac.

If the temperature and humidity are not suitable for the growth and development of the embryo, the embryo will slow down or stop developing. If the time is too long (more than 20 days), the egg will become invalid and will not hatch. The body of the young spider is weak, the digestive organs are not fully developed, and the ability to resist the adverse external environment is poor. In addition, every time they grow, they have to shed their skin, so the mortality rate is high, so they must be carefully raised.

Therefore, they must be carefully raised.

1. Temperature: It is best to control the temperature between 25 and 30 degrees. The temperature difference between day and night should not be too large. Pay attention to cooling down in summer to prevent heatstroke, and pay attention to heating up in winter to ensure the healthy life of young spiders.

2. Humidity: The humidity should be moderate and should be maintained at around 65. Low humidity can easily cause young spiders to become dehydrated, and eventually become emaciated and die. If the humidity is too high, young spiders are prone to edema and death. If the humidity is too high, young spiders are prone to edema and leukoplakia.

3. Ventilation: A good ventilation environment can make the young spiders strong and healthy, reduce diseases, and safely pass each molting. Air pollution, humidity, and stuffiness are the main causes of death for young spiders.

4. Food: spiders are mainly fed with small animals, such as mealworms, small earthworms, etc. Animal blood can also be fed (be careful not to add salt to the blood). If conditions permit, artificial compound feed can also be used. The formula can be: 50% egg yolk, 20% honey, 20% milk, 4% vitamin additives, and 3% wet nurse. Mix them and feed them on a dish or on a sponge.

5. Light: First of all, the light must be sufficient. If conditions permit, you can take it outside to see the light.

What do spiders eat and how to keep them?

Keeping spiders at home:

You can catch a spider and raise it at home. It is generally difficult to catch poisonous spiders at home, so you can raise it with confidence. Of course, there are also many Nalu five poisonous spiders on the market for people to buy and raise.

1. Spiders’ Diet

Spiders have a rather varied diet and like to eat a lot of things, such as various insects.

2. Spider Feeding Frequency

Spiders are very good at withstanding hunger. They can go a month without eating anything without dying. The frequency of feeding a spider is related to its size. The larger the spider, the less frequent it will be fed.

3. Size of Insects to be Fed

The insect should be one-third of the spider's body length. If it is too big, the spider will easily die of suffocation.

4. Breeding Space

The space does not need to be too large, because spiders themselves are not big and they don’t like bright places, so it is best to choose a dark place to raise spiders.

There are many species of spiders. It is best to choose local species for family breeding. You can catch and raise them yourself to reduce expenses. Tarantulas, black widow spiders, golden spiders, burrowing wolf spiders, Chinese wolf spiders, and large-bellied orb spiders are all non-toxic spiders with high economic value. Tarantulas are the best for large-scale breeding, and the benefits are also higher.

Spiders have a varied diet, are resistant to hunger, have strong vitality, and are easy to raise. As long as the three basic conditions of food, water, and shelter are met, they can grow and reproduce normally, spin silk, and reproduce. One spider can reproduce 200 to 300 spiders a year, and some can reproduce thousands of spiders, which are worth hundreds of yuan. Spiders feed on flies and other insects, and feed is easy to obtain. They can be caught, bred, and raised by themselves without investment. They can also be introduced from other places for breeding, with considerable benefits. In order to facilitate the capture and breeding of farmers and herdsmen and professional households, the breeding technology of spiders is introduced as follows:

Artificial breeding can be done indoors or outdoors. For large-scale breeding, wooden boxes, cement pools or outdoor sheds can be used for breeding. For small-scale breeding, lampshades, glass jars, cans, etc. can also be used. Due to the different habits of spiders, the breeding tools are also different.

1. 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 gauze and tied tightly, and some zigzag cardboard or small firewood stalks should be placed inside for the spiders to climb and hide.

2. Three-dimensional cage culture method for raising web-weaving spiders:

(1) The spider cage is made of white plastic window screen, 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 on one end of the circular hole to serve as an operation 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 blind rolled cloth straps to fix the spider cage in shape.

(2) The spider cage frame can be made of wood or thin steel bars welded together. The size should be suitable for supporting the cage.

Additional answer

1. What do spiders eat?

Hairy spiders are wandering spiders and do not use webs to hunt. In the natural environment, Shenhong generally feeds on ground-dwelling insects. Larger species will occasionally prey on small rodents. Although some species are called bird eaters, it is unlikely that they will actively prey on birds, except for sick birds in front of them, of course. When raised artificially, they are generally fed crickets. Larger species can occasionally be fed baby mice, but it is not recommended to feed spiders with adult mice, because the counterattack of the adult mice may cause casualties to the spiders.

2. How often should you feed and how much should you feed at a time?

The frequency of feeding varies by species, but there are several principles: 1. No feeding is required within seven days after molting. 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 must be determined based on the amount of the last feeding, whether there is any leftover food, the size of the belly, and whether there are any signs of molting.

3. How big a portion of food should be fed?

Try not to exceed 1/2 of the spider's body length, and less than 1/3 is best. If you find signs that the spider is shedding its shell, if you are feeding it with crickets, you must gently crush its head to reduce its activity and prevent it from attacking the spider in the process of shedding its shell.

You can prepare a 20*20*30 (length, width and height) transparent box with a lid and ventilation holes (the size of the ventilation holes cannot be larger than the spider to prevent the spider from escaping). Then, bring some soil from the place where you collect spiders and add it to the box to a height of 15 cm to 20 cm. Use a 3 cm diameter wooden stick or other object to insert it into the soil at an angle less than 45 degrees. Then carefully pull it out to form an artificial cave. It should be noted that the soil should not be too loose, otherwise the cave will collapse, and it should not be too solid, otherwise the spider will not be able to continue digging the cave. The Chinese wolf spider itself is a cave spider and lives in its own cave during the day. , look for food around the cave entrance at night. In a corner of the soil surface, place a bottle cap with a diameter of about 3 cm, put clean sea surface in it, and there must always be clean water in the sea surface for the spider to drink (you rarely see spiders drinking water, so don't worry). The moisture in the soil cannot be too much, and the Chinese wolf spider does not like a too humid environment. The food problem is also very simple. If he lives in the cave you prepared, then eating will not be a problem. Crickets are the best choice, and mealworms are also fine if you don't have them. (Spiders will drill into the soil if they don't get to eat mealworms, which is very annoying) Feed a cricket or more every three days, depending on the taste of your spider. I believe your spider will live a good and healthy life if you raise it this way.
