CATDOLL : CATDOLL: What are the technical requirements for spider breeding?

1. How to keep a 0.5 to 1 cm pet spider?

1. Temperature

It is best to control it between 25-30 to ensure the spider's healthy life.

Spiders prefer temperatures between 22 and 30 degrees. If conditions are good, it is best to maintain 26 to 28 degrees, but avoid direct sunlight, which is the best breeding temperature. 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 in winter to keep warm. You can use air conditioning and heating to heat up, or you can buy a heating pad specially designed for reptiles to heat up.

2. Food

Spiders are mainly raised by feeding small animals, such as mealworms, small earthworms, etc. If conditions permit, artificial compound feed can also be used.

3. Humidity

The humidity should be kept at around 65 degrees. Low humidity can easily cause spiders to become dehydrated, and eventually die of weight loss. If the humidity is too high, spiders are prone to edema and death. If the humidity is too high, spiders are prone to edema and spot mold.

Use a small water bowl for the larvae to drink water, usually add 1-2 drops 1-2 times a week. If you don't use a water bowl, it's okay to keep the coconut soil at a certain humidity, the spiders will absorb the moisture in the coconut soil by themselves.

4. Ventilation

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

5. Lighting

First of all, there should be sufficient light. If conditions permit, you can take it outside to see the light. (Spiders don't like light, so when they see the light, they should be kept away from the sun to ensure their safety). The windows should be opened frequently, but avoid direct sunlight.

6. Molting

Molting is a relatively important stage, so many things need to be paid attention to. Molting can take anywhere from a few weeks to a few months. When molting, the spider will lay a web on the ground and lie on it with its legs up. Do not disturb it at this time, and do not move it or throw it away because you think it is dead. The spider will stop eating a few days before molting, and start feeding it 5 days after molting.

7. Getting Started

Put your left hand in front of it, and use your right hand to push its buttocks, and it will climb onto your hand, and push its buttocks off when it comes down (but it is not recommended to climb onto your hand, as spiders are more of an ornamental pet)

8. Environment

Do not spray insecticides, cockroach medicinal mosquito coils, mothballs, vinegar floral water, perfume, air fresheners, sandalwood, formaldehyde, and other anti-mite drugs in the room where spiders are kept. These will kill your spiders!

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 a 2cm spider?

How to raise spiders 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.

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

Spiders are mainly fed with small animals, such as mealworms, small earthworms, etc., and artificial feed can be used if conditions permit. Humidity should be kept at around 65. Low humidity can easily cause spiders to dehydrate, and eventually become emaciated and die. If the humidity is too high, spiders are prone to edema and death. If the humidity is too high, spiders are prone to edema and spot mold. Use a small water basin for the larvae to drink water, usually 1-2 drops each time 1-2 times a week. It is also okay if you don't use a water basin. Keep the coconut soil at a certain humidity, and the spiders will absorb the moisture in the coconut soil by themselves.

6. How to breed southern spiders?

1. To raise hunting spiders, you can use large-mouthed cans, wide-mouthed bottles, and specimen bottles. However, the mouth of the bottle should be sealed with double gauze and some zigzag cardboard or small firewood stalks 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 cloth straps to fix the spider cage in place.

(2) The spider cage frame can be made of wood or thin steel bars welded by electric welding. The size should be suitable for the cage. In order to save floor space, several layers are usually overlapped, as long as it is easy to operate. The outer height of the cage frame is 2 meters, 1 meter long, and 20 centimeters wide. There are 9 layers in total, with 5 cages on each layer. The lower legs are 10 to 20 centimeters high. A 20-square-meter space can raise 1,000 spiders.

3. To raise cave-dwelling spiders, you can use the pond method, that is, build a pond with a length, width and height of 50 cm with bricks, fill it with soil to 1/2 of the height, make a cave manually, seal the top with iron wire and leave a small door for observation and feeding. This method is suitable for raising bird spiders, cave-dwelling wolf spiders, etc.

Breeding method: Single spider breeding means keeping one spider in a container.

Due to different breeding purposes and tools, it can be divided into cage breeding and bottle breeding, and some can be directly placed on potted crops.

Spider breeding is to raise multiple spiders in a larger breeding container. In order to prevent spiders from killing each other, straw, rice straw, and small branches should be added to the breeding container to reduce contact between spiders and enable them to build nests and defend themselves. In this breeding method, spiders of the same species and size should be placed in order to avoid the strong preying on the weak.

Feed and feeding Spiders have a mixed diet, but they are mainly fed with meat, such as locusts, crickets, butterflies, flies, mealworms, etc. are all high-quality feed. For large-scale breeding, it is best to set up a small insect farm. Artificial feeds include milk, egg yolk, etc., which can be prepared and fed once a week.

7. How to raise wild 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.

8. How to breed Spider-Man?

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.

1. Sufficient preparation. The soil for making the cave must not be polluted, and the cave should be as large as possible; when breeding in a barrel, the height of the cave cannot exceed two-thirds of the barrel height, and the area of ​​the cave occupies about one-half of the barrel area. In addition, food for the spiders must be prepared.

2. Make sure you have good seed sources. A good seed source is the beginning of raising spiders well. Only with good seeds can we lay a good foundation for future breeding. Therefore, you must introduce seeds from a regular farm with a large scale and a good reputation to ensure the safety of the species.

3. Never let the water run short. Spiders have a special way of drinking water. You should put a sponge in clean water, soak it in water, pick it up with chopsticks and put it in a small dish. Well water is the best for feeding spiders. If you use tap water, it is best to let it sit for 1 hour before using it. The drinking vessel used must be clean.
