CATDOLL : CATDOLL: What can I feed spiders to keep them alive (What can I feed spiders without insects)

1. How to raise the Chilean Fire Rose Spider 1-2 cm?

When feeding a 1 cm Chilean Fire Rose spider, you can follow three points:

1. Choose mealworms that are about the same size as the spider to feed.

2. Spiders have small appetites, so don’t feed them too much.

3. Feed once a week.

When feeding a young spider about one centimeter long, you can choose mealworms or barley worms to feed it. When eating, the spider sucks the juice from their bodies.

2. How to keep trapdoor spiders?

1. Breeding environment

Each spider should be kept in a closed container. The substrate can be a mixture of coconut shell soil and peat soil, 3-5 cm thick and compacted. A suitable size shelter should be placed in the breeding box for shelter. You can choose tiles, bark, coconut shells, etc. In addition, a container of water should be placed to provide clean water.

2. Temperature and humidity

Humidity should be maintained between 40% and 70%, and ambient temperature should be maintained between 25 and 30 degrees. In autumn and winter, when the ambient temperature drops below 20 degrees, it is necessary to heat the cage. It is generally recommended to use an electric blanket for heating. Since spiders do not like light, it is not recommended to use a lamp for heating. When using an electric blanket for heating, half of the cage can be placed on the electric blanket. The advantage of this is that a temperature difference can be formed in the cage, and the spider can freely choose a suitable place to move around.

3. Feeding

The main food of spiders is various living insects, such as crickets, grasshoppers, cockroaches, etc. They occasionally eat small lizards, baby mice or other small animals.

3. What to feed Brazilian Solomon’s spider seedlings?

1. The general food of small spiders is flying insects, mosquitoes or flies. It is recommended to feed them mealworms, small earthworms, etc., and animal blood can also be fed.

2. Because the bodies of young spiders are weak, their digestive organs are not fully developed, and their ability to resist adverse external environments is poor, artificial feed can be used if conditions permit. The formula can be mixed with egg yolk, honey, milk, vitamin additives, and wet nurse and then placed on a dish or sponge for feeding.

4. What do spiders eat in daily life?

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.

5. 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.

6. How to raise spiders, what do they eat, and do they drink water?

Find a plastic box or fiberglass, square or rectangular with a lid, not too small, at least 20 cm in width and height.

Put at least 3 cm of coconut soil in the spider's home. If you can't find coconut soil, use ordinary soil (not humus soil). Use a small spray bottle (available at the entrance of elementary schools) to spray water. Don't cover the soil. Stop when the water covers half of the soil.

Find a wooden block or a solid object (such as a stone) that is 2 to 3 cm higher than the box and place it diagonally inside the box. Insert it at least one-third into the soil.

Spiders drink water, so use a mineral water bottle cap to fill it with water and place it in the box, not next to the wood. Do not spill water on the spider.

If it's a spider smaller than your thumbnail, if it's a spider with its wings ripped off, if it's an insect smaller than a spider, anything will do.

Don't feed it too much. Feed it with insects that are smaller than the spider, and they must be alive. After the spider has built a web, throw a live insect onto the web and it will come to eat it. Feed it once a day, and it will not die even if you don't feed it for a week.

The spider in my house is still full of energy even though it has not had any food for half a month.

Note that the spiders I have are high-quality spiders, not other types. Add water every three days. Place them in a dark place, away from the sun. Put a forked branch in the box to make it easier for the spider to make a web.

7. 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.

8. What do spiders usually eat?

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.
