Is all wolf spider care the same?

[miranda0331]

This might be a silly question. But I was interested in getting a Hogna Lenta and I was just curious if all wolf spider husbandry is the same? I haven’t found a care guide for that specific species and am new to true spiders.

There are some exceptions but the common ones are more or less the same.
They can be found in a wide range from semi-humid to semi-arid and are good with adapting.

You can find some applicable information here.

Lycosidae (wolf spider) husbandry

I would like to start keeping wolf spiders and have been trying to find information on their husbandry first. Searching the forum has given me conflicting information (including no substrate versus deep substrate for burrowing) and it does not appear there are any books on keeping spiders other...

Hogna lenta care will be the same as for most other wolf spiders.
Great choice! Very active and exciting spiders. I love how adept they are at hunting in dense foliage, so... if your husband ever gets insects stuck in that excellent beard of his, you have your solution on hand

Thanks for the info!

Haha. I’ll let him know and maybe he’ll stop “saving it for later”
