Apache Jumping Spider chills on rock all day every day. Should I be concerned?

Idk whats up. Forgive the messy enclosure, I just fed her.
I tore down her hammock accidentally a week ago and now she just hangs out on the rocks or the plant. She’s been pretty inactive. It’s odd. Should I be concerned? She’s eating well.

Update: I gave her water and she drank immediately. Weird that shes not making any hammocks or anything though…

Since you mentioned that her hammock was accidentally removed, her change in behavior could be a response to this alteration in her environment. Jumping spiders are known to be quite sensitive to changes in their habitat. It might take some time for her to adjust and create a new space for herself.

Ensure that her enclosure has adequate hiding spots and areas where she can feel secure. You might want to consider adding elements similar to the hammock you accidentally removed, as this could have been a preferred resting spot for her.

If you are extra concerned, make sure the environmental conditions get an excellent score. For your little one this should be temperatures ranging from 70°F to 85°F (21°C to 29°C) and moderate humidity level in the enclosure, around 50-70%. I'm not familiar with utilizing as much faux materials as you seem to use so I cannot comment on that other than if you aren't already paying extra attention to these conditions then please consider. The reason keepers tend to natural substrate is to hold moisture and mimic other natural needs.

Agree with above. I would also put coco fiber as the substrate and add a water dish.
