CATDOLL : CATDOLL: Can raising spiders make money? Zhihu (Can raising spiders make money? Zhihu novel)

1. What are the benefits of having spiders as pets?

1. It's just an alternative pet. To be honest, there is no benefit in it.

2. It can be used to build up courage. Many people raise spiders not because they like them, but because they want to be different and appear brave.

3. Spiders are brainless creatures. No matter how long you keep them, they will not recognize you and will not interact with you. There is no difference between your hand and a stranger's hand. You will bite them when you should and kick their hair when you should.

4. It is not recommended to keep spiders if you don’t like them. If you like these small animals, you can keep some more docile species. It is not recommended to keep spiders with highly poisonous properties.

2. Is there anyone who makes money by breeding spiders?

Some people make money by breeding spiders. Artificial breeding can be done indoors or outdoors. Large-scale breeding can be done in wooden boxes, cement pools, or outdoor sheds. Small-scale breeding can also be done in lampshades, glass jars, cans, etc. Because spiders have different habits, the breeding tools are also different.

Spiders have a varied diet, are resistant to hunger, have strong vitality, and are easy to raise. As long as they have three basic conditions: food, water, and shelter, they can grow and develop 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, which has considerable benefits.

3. What is the prospect of spider breeding?

If you want to know the prospect of aquaculture, you should first understand the current status of China's aquaculture industry.

I have been working in a domestic top 500 company for more than 20 years. We are in the downstream slaughtering industry of the breeding industry. We also have our own breeding industry, raising chickens and pigs.

After the reform and opening up, as the living standards of the Chinese people have improved, people's demand for meat has increased. The breeding industry has also become more and more prosperous. However, due to market conditions, diseases and other reasons, the breeding industry often experiences very large fluctuations. Sometimes it loses money, sometimes it makes money.

If you are interested, you can check the annual reports of major domestic breeding companies, such as Wens Foodstuffs and Muyuan Foodstuffs, which are listed companies and have detailed reports every year.

Chicken farming companies include Shandong Liuhe, Minhe Co., Ltd., Fujian Shenglong, etc.

For example, when the pig farming market is good, the profit per pig can reach 500-800 yuan, or even higher. Now the profit per pig may reach more than 1,500 yuan, which can be said to be a huge profit. However, when the market is bad, I will suffer losses. It is normal to lose tens or hundreds of yuan per pig.

The biggest problem in the breeding industry is not the market, but infectious diseases. Since last year, due to the impact of African swine fever, a large number of pig farms have encountered problems, a large number of pigs have died, and the stock of pigs has been greatly reduced. The price of live pigs has hit a new record high. The current national average price is close to 30 yuan per kilogram, and it is even higher in southern provinces. Of course, the breeding industry is also very profitable.

But the prerequisite is that the farm diseases must be well managed and controlled. To put it in a more plain way, as long as there are not a large number of pig deaths, you can make more money.

Due to the impact of African swine fever, the number of pigs has been greatly reduced, the price of pork has risen, and the price of chicken has also risen sharply, making chicken farming very profitable.

Therefore, the current development of the breeding industry still has very promising prospects.

But one thing you must do is to choose a good site and manage the prevention and control of diseases. You need to have sufficient skills and experience.

If you can do it well and then lose weight, the prospects will definitely be promising.

Thanks!

4. Why can’t spiders be bred artificially?

Spiders cannot be raised artificially because they have very strict requirements for the environment and prey. If you are interested in raising spiders, you can refer to the following points: 1. The breeder should move gently and steadily, and should not get too close to the egg sac. During the incubation period, the female spider has the behavior of guarding the egg sac and will attack anything that approaches the egg sac. Some female spiders place the egg sac under their abdomen to prevent it from being attacked by the outside world.

5. What is the meaning of raising spiders?

Keeping spiders can bring wealth_Spiders represent wealth

Spiders represent wealth in Feng Shui, and there is a saying that goes "When spiders hang, the God of Wealth arrives." Spiders are called "happy children" in Feng Shui, representing joy and wealth. Having a spider in the house or a spider crawling on a person represents wealth and is a good sign. It is also an animal that brings good news, like a magpie perching on a branch in front of the door.

Ancient people learned a lot from spiders. For example, when people saw spiders weaving webs, they thought of weaving one to catch fish. The sharp insight of spiders is like a sniper waiting for the target to arrive and make a fatal assassination. At the same time, the eight claws of spiders symbolize "money grabbing hands" and masters of making money. Therefore, in ancient times, spiders have always been auspicious animals and a symbol of good luck for people.

Let’s take a look at the cultural symbols and meanings of spiders.

Good luck falls from the sky: Some older temples have spider webs painted on them, with a spider hanging down with its silk threads. This is called "good luck falls from the sky." Spiders are beneficial insects, and the ancients believed that they could foretell good luck, so the old people called them "happy insects."

Focused and calm: When a spider is weaving a web, it is very focused. Even if there is chaos outside, it will still weave its web in an orderly manner. After the web is woven, some sophisticated spiders will add a safety belt under the web.

Dexterity: Ancient people sewed spider webs into their collars to cure forgetfulness and weave their thoughts. In ancient China, women worshipped spiders on July 7 and regarded spiders with good weaving skills as a symbol of good luck and an object of envy.

Good fortune: The ancients gave spiders various auspicious names, such as 蟢子, 喜田, 亲客, etc., and the most common name in the temple era was "壁钱", which means money that walks on the wall. In the West, people also believe that spiders can bring good luck. Find the starting point when the spider begins to weave a web, and you will always be lucky.

Spiders are animals with good insight and wisdom. They can easily catch food. Of course, the spiders that ancient people studied most deeply were those that weave webs. There are relatively few records of spiders that do not weave webs. And the spiders that appear in our homes are basically spiders that weave webs. Although modern people don’t care too much about things related to spider feng shui, as long as they don’t disturb our lives and don’t have a big impact on our living environment, we should not destroy the webs they have worked so hard to weave. Let them accompany us and bring us wealth.

6. Why do some people dare to keep spiders?

The main purpose is to release my playful heart. There are two types of people who raise spiders: 1. Those who raise them for fun or as pets.

2: Large-scale breeding, generally for medicinal purposes to make money. Nowadays, there are all kinds of hobbies in the world, such as fetishism, homosexuality, necrophilia, etc. Although it is strange, people who don't like it can't understand it, just like when you took your child out to play that day, someone pointed at you behind your back, saying that your child is ugly and must not be from the Qin Dynasty, because they don't like it, so they don't understand your love, which has caused many people to be unable to understand the hobby of raising spiders.

7. What are the precautions and taboos for novices in raising spiders?

1. You need to choose a suitable breeding box and place a shelter (generally bark, but there are also shelters made of other materials). Arboreal spiders need a relatively high box, while terrestrial spiders can use a flat box. The box should not be too big or too small, but a box of moderate size. Spiders need shelter to feel safe, especially arboreal species such as the gorgeous rainforest and pink toes. Therefore, it is also very important to arrange shelters.

2. Control the temperature. Pet spiders, especially tarantulas, are mostly tropical species. Therefore, they have high temperature requirements. Generally speaking, they will eat less if the temperature is below 20 degrees, and their lives will be in danger if the temperature is below 10 degrees. Not to mention the minus dozens of degrees in the Northeast, there is no hope. Therefore, a heating pad is essential for raising pet spiders. Of course, it would be better to use a constant temperature box if conditions permit.

04. Control the humidity. This is also because they come from the tropics. Especially for pet spiders that come from rainforest climates. Generally speaking, they have higher requirements for air humidity. But the air humidity cannot be too high. Too low air humidity will cause juvenile spiders to dehydrate due to dryness, and adult or sub-adult spiders will not be able to complete molting. Too high air humidity will cause your pet spider to suffer from "soft feet syndrome". So it is necessary to buy a hygrometer.

8. What are artificially bred spiders used for?

The ultimate goal of artificially breeding spiders is to process and utilize them. It is a way to expand domestic and foreign consumer markets and enrich people's growing living standards. In this way, spiders can be added value in processing and utilization. At the same time, spiders can be deeply processed through high-tech means to produce new products with high added value, thereby improving the competitiveness and economic benefits of spiders in the market.

In addition to processing a large number of commercial spiders, spiders from breeding groups should also be selected. Generally, spiders with low reproductive rates and those that are old, weak, sick, or disabled should be processed in a timely manner. The following aspects should be considered:

First, male spiders with poor breeding ability, too many male spiders in the spider group, or male spiders that are cruel and love to bite and fight should be eliminated for processing. This can ensure the quality of male spiders and improve the reproduction rate and survival rate of spiderlings.

Second, male and female spiders that have been raised for a long time and have aged, generally referring to the spiders that have been used for 3 to 5 years, their reproductive function has declined, manifested as low fertilization rate, many empty uteruses, decreased reproduction rate, etc., as well as the low survival rate and slow growth rate of the offspring spiders they produce. These should be eliminated for processing.

Third, inbred spiders not only have poor reproductive capacity and produce few offspring, but they also often lay egg sacs with a low hatching rate, or deformed spiders are found. These should also be eliminated for processing.

Fourth, sick spiders that cannot be cured, disabled spiders with damaged bodies or limbs, and weak adult and young spiders should be processed in a timely manner to improve the economic benefits of processing.

Fifth, although some female spiders are young and strong and are at the peak of their reproductive period, if they produce few offspring, they should be eliminated in time for processing.
