Can jumping spiders eat earthworms

[Briiii]

Hi there! I recently ordered a regal jumping spider and I’ve been doing some research to find out what they can eat. Are small earthworms okay? This is my first pet spider

Start with flies ideally, or small crickets. If given moths to my jumpers (my male in pic) sometimes.

Not sure about worms... doesn't seem like their natural food source as they're arboreal.

Let us know how you get on!

Yes. They can if small enough. But use different feeders preferably

None of the spiders I have will eat earthworms, although some ground dwelling spiders might. I personally prefer flightless fruit flies, as they are pretty cheap and I've had culture's live for a very long time assuming you care for them well. I have seen jumpers eat moths, although finding some the right size can be a struggle.

Awesome thank you! He just arrived and is doing very well!

Technically yes but not recommended.

A lot of earthworms above ground in trees and plants ????????

Mine never took earthworms, though I offered them once. I’d stick to flies, crickets, and dubias

Mine seemed content taking down a waxworm 4x it's size earlier lol
