These guys are so awesome, fascinating hunters! Today I dropped a cricket in one of mines enclosure, and he was already stalking it and had pounced it on before I put the lid back on his thing or moved it back by the windowsill. It happened in like 5 seconds. Are yalls jumpers this prey driven as well?

Mine are awesome eaters I love it when my spiders eat. I've never had any issues with my P. audax. Usually I feed them crickets but occasionally they love flies.

since my jumpers (p.regius) are only currently at 4th or 5th instar, they eat really small preys and I can only get my hands on 1/8 crickets so feeding can be a tad tricky sometimes😅need to remove the crickets back legs and antennas so they dont get spooked...however when comes the moment they pounce, suuuuper fascinating and quick
love seeing their hunting stance and their tiny pedipalps dribbing so cute!

Definitely! Sometimes they take a little bit to notice the prey, but mine always have a blast hunting :)
