Wolf Spider dropped a sac!

[GreenBottle Lou]

A wolf spider that I caught a couple of weeks ago dropped a sac during the past couple of days. Don't know the exact species, but I do want to know if I can feed mom like normal (it appeared to take a lot out of her) I want the slings to make it, so any ideas or tips would be appreciated. Like how long should I let it stay with her?
Thanks!

I believe wolf spider mothers brood their babies on their back for a period of time don't they? I know I've seen several around here in that configureation (IE, covered with tiny slings)

I could easily be wrong but since there's brooding behavior maybe it would be best to let the female hatch teh sack out on her own and then separate them when they're older?

I recently caught a wolf spider mother with the sac attached to her abdomen. Unfortunately, the mother passed away (no idea why) but I got the sac open and out poured hundreds of little babies. They're nearing third instar now and are doing great. Hope that helps, one way or another.
