Chinese insect fans Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 Also, I keep a spider which is in the family of Sicariidae. It is a male spider. I found it in an old paper box of my house last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RomanBuck Posted July 19, 2014 Author Share Posted July 19, 2014 i thought about jumping spiders as we have plenty of them but i dont know what size prey it would take and i really dont wanna go down so small to a fruit fly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inkie14 Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 I used to breed Phidippus audax, or the Bold Jumping Spider. I fed the adults small crickets, houseflies, small roaches. The babies were very, very small however, and I had to feed them aphids and fruit flies, so it was a little bit of a hassle. Also, many species of spider are similar to mantids in that once they reach a certain size, they need to be separated so that they don't eat each other. This can be annoying if you've got hundreds of babies! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
