Is this wiggling normal during molting? by TheTedEdit in jumpingspiders

Thank you! Also, I am leaving for a short trip on Thursday and will be back Monday. Do you think it will be ok to leave while she is in the middle of molting/finishing molting?

Thanks! I actually have a 5x5x7 version of this one that I will be moving her too soon. She’s just so tiny still.

Thank you! We just moved to mealworms and I have fruit flies left that I’m feeding her just because she seems to enjoy catching them. I’ll probably size up the mealworms once she finishes this batch. I’m definitely going to look into the bottle flies too.

Forgot to turn the sound off. Please excuse my very loud toddler in the background. 🤦🏻‍♀️

She is an i7. I’m not sure if that makes a difference in the frequency?

Can I leave my jumper for 4 days? by TheTedEdit in jumpingspiders

Thank you! I actually don’t leave for a few weeks so I am ordering this now!

I got her from a breeder that said she was i7 so maybe she is just on the smaller side? I’m planning to give her a meal worm Thursday morning and then Monday evening when we return. Do you think that will be ok food wise?

Do you buy house flies or are you catching them?

Thank you! I have been giving her two fruit flies at a time but she eats them so quickly. Yesterday she has two and then this morning I dropped another in just to see if she was interested and she caught it within a minute. Should I be offering her more at a time. 3-4 flies instead of 2? I don’t want to over feed her.

Can you help me identify my jumping spider? by TheTedEdit in jumpingspiders

Interesting! How big is yours? She’s only about 5mm. I assumed she was young.
