So the eggsack popped a few days ago. At the moment theres 50-75 tennie tiny 1/16th" slings in a web along with the female. Now what? I figured she was a wolf spider and they'd be on her back, but this isn't the case. Other than give them water do I have to separate them or anything? When should I try to feed them, they aren't gonna eat each other, right? Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks ~ Rex

Heres a link to my first post with pics of the female. I'll get up some pics of the slings when I can. http://www.arachnoboards.com/ab/showthread.php?t=131781

Ill bet its a D. tenebrosus. They will eat each other after awhile, but you could crush a crickets head and place it near them . Just collect what you dont want and put them where you found them. Dont get tagged by mama.
