I’ve been catching flies to feed my jewel spider that lives in the corner of my room but it’s been a bit difficult. I just fed my spider a green bottle fly and I looked in her container and it seems the fly had laid eggs. How should I handle these eggs? I doubt they would survive in an empty tubberware. Any tips on how to raise them would be appreciated.

I’d use the search 🔍 function , I’ve never raised maggots but it shouldn’t be hard .

i’ve been searching and watching videos, but I’m worried they may only be able to eat rotten meat, which isn’t something I have access to. For now I’ve added the eggs to a container of fruit flies I bought from the pet store. I guess we’ll see if they can eat what the fruit flies eat.
