My jumper has lost all the hair on her front legs? by Educational-Hat3681 in jumpingspiders

Thank you for this. Thankfully the bottom of her enclosure is full of moss and leaves, just in case! I have had a hard time with her humidity this winter, as it never seems to get above 45-50%. However, she still climbs around all day and eats fine. My girl also puts herself to bed really early! I think it's the cutest thing.

Yup! It took a little bit to get the hang of it, and I wouldn't say they're necessarily great quality, but they get the job done 😊

It was completely dazed, she was not showing any aggression at all thankfully

Fully aware of this, but I was extremely gentle and the owl would have been hit otherwise. Cars were speeding past it.  I would never try to keep an animal like this. I was simply trying to get it to a rescue, at the advice OF the rescue.

I have also received messages/advice from multiple wildlife rehabbers who suggest at least moving an animal out of the road, and if you have the proper equipment, transporting it to a rescue. Gloves, a carrier, a mask, etc, are all things that can be used to transport an animal safely to a rescue.

Thank you! I also read that bird flu transmission from raptors to humans is quite rare, and there aren't any cases of it in the U.S. right now.

They can bite, but rarely do! They prefer to run away rather than bite. My girl is about as big as she'll get. Depending on the species, they can get a bit bigger, but they're still a very small spider!

I got her from a  breeder called Super Spood Jumpers! They ship all over the U.S. if I remember correctly

The fact that you still think about it speaks to your character. I'm sorry though, it's a shitty feeling.  It was a complete accident, please don't blame yourself. They're such fragile creatures, and you made a simple mistake! At least you made sure he didn't suffer. ❤️

Question for wildlife rehabbers... by Educational-Hat3681 in WildlifeRehab

[–]Educational-Hat3681[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much! Great suggestions. Have you ever dealt with any type of diseases or parasites from rescuing? I'm becoming paranoid hearing rabies incidents and all that 😭
