P. Audax not eating, small abdomen

[ladyvik]

I'm worried about my Phidippus Audax.
I got him from a pet shop around 2 weeks ago and he had a very small abdomen. He ate a greenbottle fly a few days after but hasn't eaten since and his abdomen is still tiny. He also hasn't webbed up anywhere. He does drink water from the sides.
I've tried fruit flies, calci worms, curly flies, green bottle flies and a red runner roach.
I tong fed him the one fly he ate.
I'm worried for my little guy.
Sorry about the pictures, but I think you can see the size of the abdomen compared to his carapace in them.
I believe he's a sub adult, because I can see some boxing glove type bits on his palps and his front legs are thicker. He's around 1cm.

He sits around 75-80 f, his enclosure is the alcatraz by Mantis NI. Humidity is 50ish.

This isn't my only jumper. I have a Regius who is currently molting, she eats well and has a lovely abdomen. I'm also not a stranger to spiders and them not eating, I keep tarantulas. It's just the size of the abdomen is worrying. I recently lost a H. Pulchripes because she stopped eating and her abdomen shrivelled. I'm worried the same is going to happen to this little guy.

If he has boxing gloves he is likely mature. He will likely spend the rest of his time wandering about, looking for love. You can try finding him a mate, easier said than done though.

He definitely isn't mature yet. He doesn't have any of the mature characteristics. I mentioned the boxing gloves because I know male Audaxs have a slimmer abdomen but his is definitely too slim.
His boxing gloves are teeny tiny and don't look fully developed yet.

Wonderful Wanderer
Keep on trying various prey items., also realize Jumpers in general have relatively short lives.

Try pinhead crickets then. Didnt see them in your list.

it happens to get a bad seed sometimes. Not all spiders make it in the wild. We happen to get some of those everynow and then.

males sometimes mature small. Like real small. It happens. Nobodys fault.

at this point everything is possible.

is it getting enough sunlight? I could ask you a million questions. Its a bit complex if you dont have a spider for long. Is he wild caught or captive bred?

ive seen wild mature males that were very small.
