- In this upload I feed all of those babies she left behind. I break down how to disperse & separate & feed out fruit flies. Hopefully I can provide a how to for someone trying their hand at raising baby spiders & their feeders. It's quite a bit of work but it's rewarding. I LOVE IT! Thanks for watching. Enjoy!!!
5 years ago but it helped me in knowing how to feed my babies because even though I go outside to feed them, the flies jump around and escapes 😩 thank you thank youuuu!! :)
Hi thanks for the great explanation i just got my first jumping spider yesterday and he's started building his little house. 😄
Glad I could help
I have them in I love your video. I learned something about baby spiders.
Thanks for the vid! My wild caught female gave me a gift of 9 baby jumpers before she unfortunately passed away. Just got a shipment of fruit flies in, and I found this very helpful. Just got them in the fridge now. Thank you! 🖤
The Stork just brought 23 little slings from a purchased Phidippus I suspect was wild caught.
It could be one of two suspects:
Phidippus regius or P. johnsoni
wow...this must have been the 732th video i have seen on feeding jumping spider (I'm a new dad) and this tops them all!!!! great video bud!!
That really helped a ton! I just got five baby jumpers and needed to know how to separate them and feed them.
Glad I could help!
Thank you for the information. I getting a baby jumping spider Tuesday.
so good video, already some fruit flies jumped somewhere i dont know, thats a genius trick
Thank you! New jumping spood owner and I JUST found the tiniest sling on my laptop and hoping to keep him too. Been driving all over town trying to find fruit flies for him with no luck. My spood is eating mini mealworms but this tiny sling I found needs fruit flies, so I ordered some online.
"Hopefully there will be somone out there that cares for baby spiders"
Me! I'm carzy enough to do that!!!
Your details were exactly what I needed to feed my tiny lions. Or Phiddipus regius slings. I only have two and still the things you shared have moved me into the level of “Wow, I can do this”
Thanks Man
Thanks for making this. My first jumper is coming in the mail this week and even though I have everything i need, I was a bit nervous. This helped a lot 😊
hey man thanks for explaining how to water the babies
Awesome for showing me how to make it easier to feed the babies
If I helped one person avoid some of the mistakes I made then the video was worth it
Gona get quiet a bit of baby spiders in some week thanks for the tut
Dude great stuff, but I'll never judge and I seen moonshine!! Lol great stuff brother
You didn't see no shine but you might have seen liquor (whisky)!!
@@torpedoesntarantulas5758 best!
Norvis Eight legs, I miss seeing your content! Come back soon
I watched a ton of youtubers on this and they were all completely useless compared to your videos! Thanks a ton for this
This helped me, sir. Thank you.
It was a help thank you. I have my first jumper coming in a few days and a container of fruit flies. Kind of hope my jumper is not real small kind of looks like a pain in the ass dealing with those fruit flies.
So tiny. They're adorable. Must take FOREVER to care for a single clutch, much less multiples!
You help us new spider owners more than you think! Thanks! Julie
Thanks man. That means a lot.
😮loved this! It was very helpful and informative. Thank you!!
this was wonderful! thank you!! ^◡^
You are very welcome. And thank you for watching and commenting!
Thank you very much! I’m getting my phidippus next week and this really helped ! 🙏🏼❤️
So glad it helped. Good luck with your new phid
@@torpedoesntarantulas5758 Thanks can’t wait 😂
Wow! Great tip! Thanks so much, I’m getting my lil’ jumping spider today and was a bit nervous
Thanks for the video! Just got a Phidippus regius Bahamas baby so this was really helpful :)
Great video bud. I don't use any substrate for my little female jumper. Just a water dish. She's has made 4 sacs lol now all of them are running lose in my room. Keep up the awesome work bud.
Yea they don't need substrate. They live off the ground anyway. I have jumpers running around my house too I'm sure. Probably sub-adults from the first sac! 😂
Thanks man appreciate it
No problem
Thanks for the help appreciate it
Great video, separating the flies into a tiny container first was a clever step.
If you spray the water on the lid then you dont risk spraying the babies
Hell yeah baby... That is what I think it's kinda AWESOME about spiders casue they will FUCKING get there prey regardless how big they are
Wow! Great and smooth way to do that. Awesome! Hope your new year rocks
Thanks. I've some practice at it. I hope your New Year rocks too!
Aww they are so cute
So cute. Wish I could've gotten a closer look at them for y'all
Yeah bo I plan on keeping all my jumping spiderlings that my jumping spider just had
Thank you!!! This helped out a lot.
Glad I could help!
wow them things are tiny!!!!! good info thanks
Thanks bud! I just did a video on my scorpions & where they are from
Thanks!
Awesome video! Really helpful!
Glad you liked it and found it helpful. Thanks for watching!
This is great. My family is just getting into jumping spiders and we had a very messy disaster with the first fruit fly feeding lol
Locked on like a scud missile
😂
Sooo.... Are you saying he probably will miss the target?
🤣🤣
Nice job 👍👍 it's hard to find a feeding for tiny babies and been baffled by using fruit flies without them getting away. Most talk about it but don't show it...
So this was great to see, thanks
Thank you! So helpful!
Thank you I have 1 baby jumping spider, hard to find a video how to feed them and how to get the fruit flies in lol
cool! saludos desde Costa Rica :)
The starving female jumper I caught off my bedroom wall and put inside a terrarium was pregnant. She made over 40 babies and I collected 25 of them.
Great video and helpful info!
Thanks. I'm glad someone can find it helpful. Thanks for watching & commenting!
@@torpedoesntarantulas5758 nice mate :)
Thanks bro
Very informative!
I thing I've learned, through error, is that if you kill some fruit flies in the freezer get your colony ready to dispense, pull the container out of the freezer, dump it, and if you're fast you can dump some more in and close it up and the air will still be cold enough they'll slow down immediately and you won't have to put it back in the fridge
Super awsome brother goodluck they are amazing
Thanks bud. With your support I think we can do it. Be thinking about how many jumpers you want in April. 😁
@@torpedoesntarantulas5758 I'd be greatful for one 👍
Fingers crossed bud. 🤞
Can they live communal for there whole life
No. Eventually they will start to hunt one another if you keep them together. They are solitary once they get to a certain size until they go in search of a mate.
I wish I could like 100 times.
I'd also like to know how often do they need to eat ? And if you only want one breeding pair of spiders ,how many fruit flies do I need to have before their arrival ,and how long does it take to breed these flies
my question is I have I believe a spider🕷 eggsack on a walmart guava fruit 🤔 how could I let them hatch in a safe container for them I don't know if it's real yet I am curious 🤔 I bought the fruit a week ago the white item was not there because I like the smell of the fruit I am picking and washing the seeds not to grow a tree🌴 just green🌱🪴🦤 for the fun of it thank you have a great day take care ya'll 👵🐟♎⚖🕊 sorry I like emogis
Where can I buy the clear plastic enclosures that are housing your jumpers?
Are you talking at the times that you’re able to witness the takedowns? Maybe the vibrations from your voice can affect their hunting behavior.
The only thing I would recommend is to use a damp paper towel to water them so they don't drown in water droplets.
You just have to know how to mist. Very fine mist so the drops aren't too big. Moist paper towels and sponges and such are a no no. They harbor bacteria
Mine emerged about 5 days ago and I’ve only seen one eating. They seem afraid of the fruit flies. Will they starve?
Where do you get the fruit flies and how long do they last before you have to find or buy more?
There are several sites where you can get them. Just Google fruits flies for sale. They will last a couple of months. But if you buy fruit fly food you can keep them going longer by making new cultures. Just put some food in a new container and add some flies. In a couple weeks you have a bunch more flies
I just found a spider not sure if is a jumper but I found a jumper 2 weeks ago. Now this one is way smaller that the ones on the video what should I do .
How would you u feed a grown up one?
Just drop bigger food in its enclosure. They'll take care of the rest. Just make sure the prey is not larger than the spider's body
how many fruit flies i need for every time i feed a jumping spider?
Can you let's say 5 or 6 flies in with one spider and they can feed on them for awhile ..several days ?
how often do you feed the babies?
I actually just found a baby jumping spider, I think it's a zebra one but it's hard to tell cuz I think it's a newborn. I also read some where that you couldn't put them in the same place or they'll start fighting is that true?
They don't really "fight" but they will eat each other
@@torpedoesntarantulas5758 okay! Good to know!
@@torpedoesntarantulas5758 and also if you don't mind I have one more question; my baby zebra jumping spider was very active in my jar and then I moved and adjusted his habitat a bit and now I can't find nor see him in the jar, I'm scared I might have killed him 😅. Is that normal for baby spiders or....?
They are tiny and hard to spot sometimes. He may have found a spot to hang out. That's why I put them in a cup without anything in it. They don't need plants and cork bark and all that stuff. That's more for the visual appeal of the keeper
@@torpedoesntarantulas5758 thanks for helping! Also update; we searched the WHOLE jar and found my spider not in there. It escaped when I was moving its habitat. I feel so bad...
I found a jumper sling on my window and decided to raise it. I’m worried it isn’t actually eating the flies I’m giving it. I find carcasses, but the sling’s abdomen doesn’t seem to be expanding. Perhaps the flies are dying on their own, or the sling is just killing and tossing them? It’s only about the size of the flies, but I’m wondering if I should offer a different type of food. I’ve only had him a week, but would love to see this little guy grow into a healthy adult.
Wild caught spiders, even slings can stress out in their new enclosure. I have received 2 phidippus regius slings that i bought captive bred yesterday.
You will know when the fruit fly is eaten because 1. Abdomen is bigger. 2. Fruit fly is shriveled up from the spider turning it into a smoothie and sucking it out .
Also, some wild caught spiders, even jumping spiders, don’t do well in captivity. Release him into the wild because hes so stressed out that hes not eating :/
If you want an amazing jumper spider pet, get them captive bred. They’re much less stressed out and used to being in enclosures their whole life.
We got some jumping spiders that came in enclosures. Do you move them into the solo cups for feeding? Or are these where you keep them until they are bigger?
What did you use to put the whole in the deli cup?
I use a needle and put a bunch of holes in it
4 more weeks I will have baby jumping spiders
Awesome. Be prepared. They are a lot of work
What do youb feed the baby jumpers that are just a few weeks old? I've had 3 wild caught jumpers 2 Platycryptus undatus and a Phidippus audax and all 3 had babies! LOL Now I'm trying to find out how to keep the babies alive until they are big enough to eat fruit flies.
I just got a baby thats too small for fruit flies and I came to find that answer as well!
The mist needs to be even finer than that or you can drown the babies extremely easily 😞
I just got one baby jumping spider it’s very small I don’t think it’s even gone through it’s first molt. I’ve tried to feed it fruit flies for two days and it doesn’t seem interested at all. I’m wondering if I have to wait for it to have its first molt? I’m worried that it won’t eat and it could die. Is there anything else I could give it besides water, or should I leave it alone and wait?
so far my spider hasn’t eten
im rlly scared cos shes getting skinny and she wont eat mealworms or the flies
idk what im doing wrong and i dont want my spider to die
*burp* scuse me 😂
Wait dont fruit flys, fly? How do you prevent that from happening?
As far as I know, people have bred a breed of wingless fruit flies that is sold online to spider keepers. Though I don't have experience with buying them so can't say more than that.
new to the hobby i would like to get a jumping spider for me and my daughter help anyone ?
dude just use some cling wrap :(
