CATDOLL : CATDOLL: How often should I change the soil for spiders? (How often should I change the water in the soil for 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. What should you pay attention to when raising garden spiders?

1. After the new spider arrives home, keep it away from light for three days. After the spider changes to a new environment, the change in environment makes the spider feel insecure. The insecure spider will become aggressive and will not eat. So the best way at this time is to keep it away from light (light can also make spiders nervous) and keep it away for two to three days. Don't worry, the spider will not starve to death if it doesn't eat for two or three days.

2. You need to choose a suitable breeding box and shelter (generally bark, but there are also shelters made of other materials). You need to choose a box of moderate size. And spiders need shelter to feel safe.

3. Control the temperature. Most pet spiders are tropical species. So 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. So a heating pad is essential for raising pet spiders. Of course, it would be better to use a constant temperature box if conditions permit.

4. Control humidity. Generally speaking, there are high requirements for air humidity. But the air humidity cannot be too high. 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. High air humidity will cause your pet spider to develop "soft feet syndrome". Therefore, it is necessary to buy a hygrometer.

5. Do not clean spider webs. Some species of pet spiders are keen on weaving webs. Weaving webs is the nature of spiders and their means of hunting. Moreover, the nests they weave with spider webs are their homes. Frequent cleaning of spider webs not only increases the risk of being bitten, but may also cause the spider's nerves to be sensitive and cause sudden death. The gain does not outweigh the loss.

6. Change the coconut soil frequently. Coconut soil is the bedding material for pet spiders. Generally speaking, the sterile coconut soil sold on the market is used. However, because it is usually used after being soaked, it is easier to breed mites and bacteria, resulting in small white particles mixed in the coconut soil, causing "mite explosion", which can lead to the death of spiders in severe cases. So be sure to clean it on time.

7. Clean up the food residue in time after feeding. If the spiders' leftovers are not cleaned up for a long time after feeding, it is very easy to breed bacteria and mites. This is what experts call "mite explosion". This situation is a serious situation that threatens the life of pet spiders, so it cannot be sloppy. Generally, you can clean it up after a few dozen minutes after feeding.

8. Pay attention to safety. Don't touch! Don't touch! Don't touch! I have to say it three times. The safety is still not guaranteed. Even if a bite does not threaten life, the pain is very unbearable. Therefore, whether feeding or changing soil, you must pay attention to safety!

3. Do I need to change the soil after the Red Rose Tarantula sheds its skin?

There is no need to change the soil unless the soil is moldy or there are insects in the soil, which will affect the health of the spider.

1. The red rose spider sheds its skin on the silk bed it has woven. After molting, the silk bed can be cleaned up.

2. In principle, you can feed the spider after it has shed its skin. Considering that it is still relatively weak at this time, you can use tweezers to hold a cricket or locust with its hind legs removed to lure it to eat, instead of putting live insects directly into the spider cage. If you find that the spider is not crawling very vigorously (its abdomen is close to the ground), it is recommended to start feeding it after 4 or 5 days.

3. The red rose spider lives in arid areas, but the desert where it originates is foggy at night, so a certain humidity should be maintained under breeding conditions, but water should never accumulate.

4. The red rose spider can go on a hunger strike for 100 days. If it currently refuses to eat, do not force it. Wait until the cool autumn and use crickets or locusts to lure it to eat. This will allow it to store energy before hibernation.

4. What is the use of coconut soil for spiders?

The humidity is high and there is no ventilation. It is possible that the virus is on the wild-caught spiders, or that the soil is not clean, but it is unlikely.

The most likely possibility is food residue.

The humidity problem should be based on the needs of spiders. If the spiders have needs, the humidity should be high. For ventilation problems, you can drill a few more holes, or directly dig out a large piece of the side wall of the breeding box, and then use fine wire mesh and hot melt glue to stick it on. After gluing, let it dry for half a day to a day to dissipate the smell before use. The most important thing is not to feed too much food, and clean up any uneaten food residues in time.

I don't know how long you have used the coconut soil. I wonder if you haven't changed it for several years. It is more reasonable to change it once a year or half a year.

5. Is it possible to use coconut soil instead of coconut soil to raise pet centipedes, scorpions and spiders?

Coconut soil is only good at absorbing water and retaining moisture, but it is not necessary. Spiders are easy to keep. Water and feed them once a week.

6. How often should the base soil of the Fire Rose Spider be changed?

As the spider grows, from larvae to adults, the time it takes to shed its skin will gradually increase. If the soil is not moldy, you don't need to change it. It depends on the situation. If the soil is dry, you can use a spray bottle to spray some water on the soil.

7. When should I change the pot for the spider egg?

Aspidistra is highly adaptable and grows fast. It should be repotted every 1 to 2 years. Use a mixture of loam, leaf mold and river sand. When repotting, apply a small amount of bone chips or cake fertilizer as base fertilizer. After planting, water thoroughly and place in a cool place for cultivation. During the growth period, water should be fully watered and water should be sprayed on the leaves frequently to maintain a high air humidity. Apply thin liquid fertilizer 1 to 2 times a month to promote the germination of new leaves and strong growth.

Variegated leaf varieties should be lightly fertilized. If the fertilizer is too sufficient, the leaf spots will disappear easily. Avoid direct sunlight in summer, but pay attention to ventilation and remove yellow leaves in time. Do not place it in a dark place indoors during the period from the germination of new leaves to the growth stage of new leaves, otherwise the new leaves will grow thin and weak, affecting the appearance. In the northern region, it should be moved indoors in winter, watering should be reduced and fertilization should be stopped. If the pot soil is too wet at this time, it will easily cause root rot.
