So today my female Phidippus adumbratus laid an egg sac and I need tips on how to care for the babies. I need to know housing, feeding, how long it takes for the sac to hatch, etc.
ANYTHING will help so please reply if you have experience. Thanks

housing: You can keep each one in a 2 oz cup. DO NOT keep them together, they will eat each other. You can probably feed them melanogaster fruit flies... depends on size!

How would I feed them fruit flies without them escaping from their enclosure?

I’ve just received a zebra jumping spiderling so this is helpful, I may have two other jumping spiders but never a spiderling.
