Hello guys , i didnt know that one of my jumping spiders made an egg sac and hatched and now i can see 5 babies jumping on the container , should i transfer them to individual containers?
2-3 months , mine hatched which i didnt even know lol. but i have one which i waited for 2 months and it hatched , i had 5 babies and i released them.I just checked on my jumper P. johnsoni and she just laid a sac of orange eggs. How long until the hatch?
flightless fruit flies?what can i feed the baby spiders?
looks like too big , pinhead crickets are even a little bigger than them lol. oh and also i placed them in an open air container and placed petroleum jelly on the sides , and now a few of them were lost , any ideas what happened?flightless fruit flies?
you try anyways? iv feen tiny T's take on bigger mamals. i had a wold spider who used to steal my mealworms -.- lollooks like too big , pinhead crickets are even a little bigger than them lol. oh and also i placed them in an open air container and placed petroleum jelly on the sides , and now a few of them were lost , any ideas what happened?
will they accept spring tails? i have a few in my cricket bin.I would suggest keeping a few, then releasing the rest. jumper babies can be a pain to raise, but ive had great success feeding them aphids and termites.
I would grow a plant called "Sow-thistle" which is a natural magnet for aphids, and a single plant can host thousands of them. Dunno how common sonchus (sow-thistle) is in the philippines, though.
they WILL eat fresh-killed prey, i catch my jumpers trying to eat old dead prey i forgot to remove all the time.
I'm not totally sure that they are P. johnsoni slings, but here's a thread I posted in with pictures of momma:The spiderlings will remain 1st instars for a couple of weeks. When they are second instars, they will remain in the sac for a couple more weeks before venturing out. When they begin to leave the sac on their own is when you should release them. Definately not while they are first instars though. They are not cannibalistic when they are together in the sac. It isn't until they begin to venture out in search of food when they may take out a sibling.
Are you sure that they are P. johnsoni spiderlings? You have lots of cool Phidippus species in AZ.
