CATDOLL : CATDOLL: How to raise spiders (How to raise spiders)

1. How to raise spiders so that they will get close to you?

1. Prepare a ventilated breeding box, put coconut soil, sterile soil and other substrates in it, and place hiding holes and fake trees according to the habits of the spider species. Spiders need to hunt by themselves. There is no need to put too many unnecessary objects in the breeding box.

2. Keep the breeding temperature between 17-25℃ and the humidity at around 65%. You can put a small water cup with some cotton in it.

3. Mainly feed crickets, locusts, moths, etc. The remaining food residues should be cleaned up and the coconut soil should be replaced regularly. This substrate is easy to breed bacteria, and if it is not replaced in time, it will easily cause the spider to become sick or even die.

2. What should you pay attention to when raising spiders?

1. The breeding temperature should be around 25℃. 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 keep warm.

2. Adjust the humidity according to the species of spider, generally keep it at 65-70%. If it is too low, the spider may become dehydrated.

3. A good ventilation environment can make spiders strong, reduce diseases, and help them safely pass through each molting.

4. Avoid direct sunlight.

5. The spider's molting is controlled by the secretory hormones of the secretory cells in the ganglia of the brain and the abdominal ganglia. There are usually signs. First, the spider's activity decreases before molting, and it looks for a quiet place, does not eat or move, enters a semi-dormant state, and other metabolic activities are in a weak state; second, the body shape, the abdomen is obviously enlarged, the skin is rough, the body segments are clear, and there are cracks.

3. What are the varieties of pet spiders?

Common pet spiders include the Intellectual Red Rose, Intellectual Fire Rose, Mexican Red Knees, Mexican Fire Legs, Honduras Curly, Guatemalan Red Tail, etc.

Some spiders are docile, but some are poisonous and aggressive. We should try not to handle them directly during daily breeding. It is best to use tools to touch them.

2. How to raise spiders and what should you pay attention to?

How to raise spiders:

1. 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.

2. For raising hunting spiders, generally large-mouthed cans, wide-mouthed bottles, and specimen bottles can be used as raising tools. However, the bottle mouth 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 raising web-making 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.

3. 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 about to be bitten. And the breeder must not raise spiders with very strong toxicity.

3. What should you pay attention to when raising spiders?

1. Some pet spiders are difficult to keep. Since many pet spiders are tropical species, the temperature must be kept at around 25 degrees when they are kept. It is best not to be lower than 20 degrees. There is no big problem with a higher temperature, but a low temperature will affect its eating. If it is a few degrees or below zero, it will be life-threatening.

2. The best place to raise spiders is a wooden box. At the same time, it is best to choose a suitable box according to the size of the spider. At the same time, you should also choose according to the type of spider, so that they will feel safer when living in it.

3. Moreover, spiders come from different places and have certain requirements for temperature and humidity. They can be said to be very delicate pets. If they are in relatively dry areas, young spiders may die of dehydration, and even large ones will shed their skin. If it is too humid, they will get sick, so you need to pay attention.

4. After the spider moves to a new environment, it is easy to lack a sense of security. At this time, the spider will be aggressive or will not eat. You can put the spider in a breeding box away from light for two or three days, and it will not be nervous and will not eat.

5. Web-making is the nature of spiders and also their means of hunting. It can be said that the nest they weave with spider webs is their home. So if you keep such spiders, you must be careful not to clean the spider webs frequently, otherwise you will be easily bitten, and it is also easy to cause the spider's nerves to be sensitive and die.

6. Coconut soil is the bedding material for pet spiders. Although it is usually sterile when purchased, it is easy to breed bacteria because it needs to be soaked before use. Therefore, the coconut soil must be cleaned regularly, otherwise it will easily cause the spider to become sick or even die.

7. Because most pet spiders are poisonous, you must not handle them when raising them. Although a bite will not threaten your life, the pain is unbearable. So you must be careful during the raising process and try to wear gloves.

4. 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.

Under the wood block is the spider's home

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?

You can put the spiders in a plastic box, make a few ventilation holes around the box, and put an escape-proof net on top of the box. We just need to catch some mosquitoes or small caterpillars on the leaves to feed them every day, and they can grow freely inside.

7. How to raise spiders?

If you want to raise 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 spiders with five poisonous species on the market for people to buy and raise.

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

So how often should you feed spiders? Spiders are very resistant to starvation, and 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 frequently it should be fed.

The size of the insects fed should be one-third of the spider's body length. If they are too big, the spider will easily die of overeating.

The breeding 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 breed spiders.

8. 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.
