What do little baby spiders eat? Someone please tell me quick.

 

[CedrikG]

Tarantulas are not eating immediatly when they born, but heum lil baby's would eat small cricket or fruit flies, but about the other type of baby spider I dont know, I tought it could help

 

[marebear]

I'm not sure what kind they are, I just found a nest of them in my yard and I took a few of them.

 

[edesign]

how small are they? small is a relative term

if they're really really small could try pinhead crickets?

 

[becca81]

If you can't find pinheads, you may just want to cut up mealworms or crickets. All of my slings take pre-killed food just fine (so far..).

 

[marebear]

One of the is the size of my pinkie nail and the others are a little bigger. What can I get the crickets at?

If you got the spiderlings from the yard, then maybe you could search the yard for a few small creatures, to see if they take some: crickets, pillbugs or sowbugs, beetles, moths, worms or caterpillars (tiny ones). At this time of year, there should be a smorgasbord of right-sized insects or other critters out there! (Of course, this is assuming your yard isn't sprayed with insecticides or pesticides of any type.)

Crickets can be purchased at some pet shops. Hit the yellow pages and call a few. Even if you can get crickets, getting pinhead crickets is even harder. They are tiny and my local shops that sell crickets either don't ever offer pinheads or only have them on occasion.

A spider the size of your pinkie nail sounds like more than a spiderling to me. Is it an orb web weaver? Did you find it on the ground? Can't you tell us anything more about it?

 

[CedrikG]

to the petshop , if you go to a petshop that sell T's, there will be Cricket almost for sure

Check...

I'd check to see if its venomous... let it bite you... if you don't get sick, let it go. ;P

 

[marebear]

They are brown and they like to jump.

 

[CedrikG]

jumping spider ? if you have a lots of baby of jumping spider you are lucky man I would like to have 'em lol, anyway a picture would help

 

[NRF]

Anything moving and small enough found in your backyard is probably good for your spiderlings. No need to go to a store. Anyway, beetles are often too hard-shelled and many beetles and bugs are predators themselves and will easily kill soft spiderlings. And don´t give them ants (unless the spiders are comb footed ones). Especially if they are jumping spiders they will probaly not eat pre-killed insects, but if you just kill them just a "little" they will still move and be easier to catch for the spider. Give them some water as well. Many spiders which refuse to eat will often drink, and I have sometimes managed to give first aid to spiders by giving them a mashed fly mixed into a small droplet of water.

Good luck with your jumperlings!
