So I own a Eratigena Atrica, or a "giant house spider" And I was looking for what to feed it. I cant really buy crickets, and would rather find things outside to feed it.
so far i've found pretty small milipedes, sow bugs, and worms. I know they'll eat flying insects so I've fed him crane flies and lacewings, which he loved, but as for creepy crawlies, which can he eat? I heard ladybugs are poisonous to spiders, so I haven't fed him any, not that I can find any anyways. But I was wondering. I found TONS of milipedes (NOT centipedes, i know those bite)
I heard milipedes can give off a liquid from their sides that may be poisonous to spiders, so I am hesitant to give him them, but somebody confirming that for me would be nice. Or telling me if they can eat sowbugs (since we have TONS of those) and worms.
I have tons of ants around as well, but they're carpenter ants and would likely bite him, so I haven't given him any of those
anyways! help is appreciated !
