Hi all, so it's my first time breeding and raising jumping spiders. I'm wanting to know if it's a common thing for only a handful of baby jumpers to make it to sub adulthood? I did lots of research and talked to other spider people, but nothing was explained about the survival rate of the jumper babies in your care. I started out with about 60 slings, now I'm down to 12 slings ranging from i3 to i4. There were mass deaths of tiny i2 slings and it was upsetting and discouraging. I did what I had studied, misted water and provided tiny fruit flies. I thought it was over but now there have been 3 casulties within two weeks, all i4 stage. I can't help but wonder if I'm doing something wrong. any advice would be appreciated!
