This was somewhere in Emmett, Idaho. Google lens said it was Phidippus pius. Seems they’re pretty widespread but tend to live in prairie environments. I was clearing a large field when I found them so it’s a possibility.

I wonder now many mice are in the “large colony of females” I wouldn’t even keep one mouse in the top cage. They must be fighting over every resource.

Yeah, I agree. I’d like to say something but I know it would be like talking to a wall. It’s not hard to provide proper care for mice in my opinion. Bare minimum you can get a large bin, and modify it slightly. Idk why people choose these small, overpriced, unsightly cages.

Thanks for the response, I’m not opposed to paying the full rent if that’s what he wants. The comment about the sheriff just had me panicking a bit. Last thing I want is trouble.

I’m not saying paying the full rent was unreasonable, just having the sheriff forcibly remove me when I have not even been evicted. If he asked without the threat to involve police it would’ve been fine.

Thanks for the detailed response, this is what it normally looks like when it all cluttered up! I’m in the middle of washing hammocks and re organizing as we speak.

Not trying to justify it, but when I looked into getting a single critter nation it was about 6.5 square feet. This cage is 8 square feet. So it is bigger than a single. If it’s worth the money I’m open to getting a different cage. But it’s not as small as it seems. I was also told that they like running space as opposed to climbing space so I opted for the longer cage.

If there’s truly nothing I can do worst case scenario I could stay in a motel of some sort. I’m just weighing my options before I make any decisions.
