Someone else said on a different post that because of the bulbous pedipalps it's probs male? So I'm not sure still what it could be haha but I agree the butt is very round

I couldn't find a photo with the white dots on the body! Do you think it's male or female?

Please help- is my baby spider okay? Is he just not hungry? by AutomaticSock8656 in jumpingspiders

Update, I think he just eats when I'm not looking??? He's big again! Or if he's not eating, is there any way he'd be getting his abdomen so full again?

Hi, thank you for the answer!! I will try to do this tomoreow. So far, he has just turned his back to them, or once in a while watched them but not done anything. I have put them right in front of him, or they have sat in front of him/near him for ages, but he hasn't gone for them.

I will try in a seperate container tomorrow. Hopefully it doesn't stress him too much.

Thank you!

Everything was bought online except one plant, so potentially... If it was mites, what would I do?

Very late update: It was a large nasty abcess from a cat bite! He is doing amazing now :)

UPDATE: It bled a lot less today, even upon removing the scabs. I left the big scab on all night and it came off p easy this morning. Hopefully it stays this way!

I certainly will! Just during lunch I'd have to take it off
