Spider feeding: novice tools for raising spiders and spider feeding soil

What tools do you need to raise spiders? What is better for spiders to raise soil?

Necessary tools for breeding

1. Feeding box: you can choose "pressure box" or "plastic feeding box", or even buy "storage box" and drill holes. Basically, as long as the size of the spider is 1 to 2 times the size of the spider, there is no need for too much space.

two。 Water basin: water basin for spiders to drink water, you can use "flowerpot bottom basin", you can also go to aquarium shop, reptile shop to buy "reptile water basin", or "beverage cap". Remember to pay attention to the basin should not be too deep to avoid spider drowning, too deep will make it inconvenient to drink water.

3. Substrate: hairy spiders are not like ordinary spiders who make webs to catch prey. Hairy spiders rely on fine hairs and silk spread on the ground to sense changes around them or catch prey, so the substrate is necessary for hairy spiders. So they can lay silk on the substrate to sense the location of their prey. The base material can buy "coconut brick" from the horticulture shop or florist, which is not only cheap, but also can be used by several spiders in several breeding boxes after soaking in water, which is cheap and affordable.

Gravel sand or reptile sand

The sand has strong water absorption, but the moisturizing ability is poor (dripping water in the sand is easy to evaporate), it is easy to make the overall environment in a dry state, coupled with the small sand particles, it is easy to make the silk laid by spiders not easy to attach when peeling, which may lead to peeling failure.

Sawdust or sawdust

Many people use sawdust or bark shavings as the base material, but in fact they are wood, which is easy to get moldy in a wet environment, and some of them are not easy to lay silk. Therefore, it is not recommended to use
