My wolf spider egg sac is swelling!!!

[SalticusScenicusStar]

My wolf spider egg sac was fine until a few days ago, when the female Hogna Lenta bit through it. Maybe to get airholes in it, but ever since, it seems to have enlarged. It is taking more than 2 weeks to hatch, and it seems to keep swelling. Is this normal? Help!

Hello
They enlargen the Egg sac before hatching, draging with their chelizera. (L1/L2 is hatchday)
That is when the Egg sac starts getting "fluffy".
In Addition, after a week the eggs develop. Within the first few days the Egg sac should get in size aswell.

They take approx. 2-4 Weeks.
