Jumping Spider Babies! [HUSBANDRY] 

I have a phidippus audax female, and they are basically the same as far as breeding. I left the babies with the mom until they came out on their own, and put the entire enclosure into a 10 gallon with some fine mesh fabric over the top when they started to escape and just collected them as they came out of the air holes. It took about 5 days for all of them to finally come out, about 20-40 at a time, and always around the middle of the day, then the rest would settle in for the night and not move. It was actually pretty simple to catch them all this way because they are so predictable. They all went straight for the top and not a single one stayed inside the original enclosure or hid. They were able to eat flightless fruit flies right away. So far I have 128 surviving babies (one died shortly after coming out), and the mom already laid more eggs in the hammock before they were all the way out. I'm sure I will have a few losses, but they do really well staying with the mom for as long as possible.

Aww, it's so sweet to see how much empathy you have for these little critters. Hopefully many babies will grow up big and strong in your care! Good luck! 😊

She looks like a Barbara or a Betty to me 😄

Small fruit flys will be the best option, I have had a baby jumping spider, the cup that you are going to use is good just dampan the towel it's all good

They're so tiny, maybe they died because they didn't get enough food that was small enough for them.

Cute! All the best with these dude

So tiny. How do you do it? What do they eat?

Has anybody told u that u look a lot like Jim sturgess in home before dark?
