CATDOLL : CATDOLL: What do you feed spiders?

1. What should you feed spiders?

Spiders have a miscellaneous diet, mainly eating some insects, flying insects, mosquitoes or flies. If conditions permit, butterflies, flies, mealworms, locusts and crickets are all high-quality food sources for spiders. What to do if you are bitten by a pet spider? We often hear about spider bites. There are two types of spiders that bite people, one is very weak in toxicity, and the other is poisonous. After being bitten by a spider with weak toxicity, it is easier to deal with, but after being bitten by a poisonous spider, there may be serious consequences and even lead to people's death. All spiders are poisonous, but the toxicity is different. In addition, small spiders under 5 cm generally do not bite people, and only bite when they are big. Whether a pet spider bites or not depends on the situation. If you make it angry, it may bite you. Whether it is poisonous or not depends on the species, but generally the spiders bought as pets are larger spiders, which are usually poisonous.

1. Bitten by poisonous spiders. We are familiar with poisonous spiders such as black widows. If you are bitten by such spiders, you should first tie the wound tightly with a bandage or rope to slow down the flow of venom. Apply ice packs or cold towels to the wound. Then send to the hospital for treatment in time. If you are bitten by such poisonous spiders, you must use professional antitoxin drugs for treatment.

2. If you are bitten by a spider with weak venom, wash the bitten area with soap and water immediately, then apply a cold towel or cloth to the wound. Adults who are bitten can use aspirin or acetaminophen to relieve the symptoms of the bite. If the symptoms are severe, you need to go to the hospital for treatment. If the bite is a child, after cleaning, the child should be sent to the hospital in time. Do not give children aspirin. Wait for the doctor's diagnosis and then follow the doctor's instructions for treatment.

2. What do spiders mainly eat?

Small spiders can eat mosquitoes, flies, mealworms, crickets, Dubia cockroaches, etc. First of all, spiders are quite ferocious, only eat meat, and have the habit of killing each other, so spiders should be raised individually, not in groups. Secondly, the humidity when raising spiders should not exceed 70%. The temperature should be controlled at around 25 degrees, and in winter, remember to keep it warm.

3. What do spiders eat in daily life?

In the natural environment, pet spiders generally feed on ground-dwelling insects. Larger species will occasionally prey on small rodents. Although some species are called bird-eating spiders, they are unlikely to actively prey on birds, unless there are 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.

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.

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.

As far as wild animal feed is concerned, most experts recommend that the food should be as diverse as possible, especially for higher animals. But this is not necessary for spiders. Just feeding crickets can roughly meet the basic needs of healthy breeding. Most insects caught from the wild belong to the order Orthoptera, and their nutritional value is almost the same as that of crickets. Instead of doing this, it is better to enhance the nutritional value of the cricket, that is, give the cricket a few meals of fish feed or vegetables before feeding it to the spider.

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

4. What kind of food do spiders like to eat?

Spiders like to eat mealworms and crickets.

1. When raising spiders, you can feed them mealworms, crickets, and Dubia cockroaches. The temperature should be controlled at 25-30 degrees. Pay attention to cooling them down in summer to prevent heatstroke, and pay attention to heating them up in winter to keep warm. Before putting the spiders that have just returned home into the breeding box, they need to be kept away from light for a few days. Spiders are poisonous, so be careful to prevent being bitten.

2. To ensure the spider's vitality, the owner should feed it with live insects to satisfy its predatory desire. Spiders are carnivorous arthropods, but their mouthparts are too small to chew or swallow food. So after catching prey, spiders will first use their straw-like mouthparts to inject a digestive enzyme into the prey, breaking it down into a nutrient-rich soup, and then suck the prey through their mouthparts to achieve the purpose of eating.

5. What do domestic spiders eat?

If you want to raise it, you can feed it mealworms, barley worms, cherry cockroaches, Dubia cockroaches, crickets, etc. If the spider is small, you have to kill the food, otherwise the spider will be killed by the food. Feeding it twice a week is enough. In addition, the spider should not be disturbed when eating. It should be placed in a dark and ventilated place, such as under your bed. It will eat if you leave it alone. As for the white stripes, it is a white goose stilt spider. It likes to eat cockroaches. Its toxicity can be ignored. It is not recommended to raise non-captive bird spiders. It is more recommended to buy bird spiders to raise.

6. Can pet spiders eat cooked food?

Pet spiders cannot eat cooked food.

1. Strictly speaking, pet spiders do not need to eat every day. For example, red rose spiders do not need to eat for a long time after eating once. The food that pet spiders can choose from at home mainly includes mealworms, yellow mealworms, flies, black mealworms, foreign worms, maggots, cockroaches, earthworms, crickets, etc. Wild spiders will use their own abilities to catch insect food such as crickets to meet the needs of their body growth.

2. When feeding food, keepers should not get too close to pet spiders to avoid being bitten by spiders. As long as the keepers put the food within the spider's sight, the spider can hunt for food by itself. This can not only attract the spider's attention and stimulate the spider's appetite, but also train the spider's hunting ability and exercise its body, making the spider have a stronger hunting ability. While hunting, it also properly exercises the spider's body to make it stronger.

7. What do spiders usually eat?

Spiders have a varied diet, mainly eating insects. When raising spiders, you can choose insects such as butterflies, flies, and mealworms, which are all high-quality food sources for spiders.

Spiders are wandering spiders and do not use webs to hunt. In the natural environment, they generally feed on ground-dwelling insects. Larger species will occasionally prey on small rodents. Although some species are called bird eaters, they are unlikely to actively prey on birds, unless there are 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.

Although spiders have strong survival abilities, they also have many natural enemies. Toads, frogs, lizards, centipedes, bees, and birds all have the habit of preying on spiders. When raising spiders, you must always pay attention to whether these natural enemies exist in the environment.

8. How to raise spiders?

Spiders can be raised indoors or outdoors. For large-scale breeding, wooden boxes and cement pools can be used. For small-scale breeding, canned bottles, glass jars, and lampshades can be used. They have a mixed diet and mainly feed on meat, such as flies, crickets, locusts, etc. They can also be fed artificial feed, mixed with milk and egg yolk, once a week. In addition, take anti-escape measures to prevent them from escaping.
