Wolf Spider or Grass Spider?

[dakotahjeane]

I’m having a hard time identifying our new little friend that my son found in our garage and asked to keep as his first pet. We’ve had him since last Tuesday and he’s been in his current enclosure since Wednesday. There are no webs, which makes me believe he’s a wolf spider. But I also am afraid that his front left leg is injured so maybe that’s why he can’t spin? This is our first spider pet so I’m still learning!

Wolf spider. Even if a grass spider's leg was injured, it would still be able to spin a web.

It’s a male Tigrosa annexa wolf spider

Thank you! I’m not finding as much information on the proper enclosure and diet for wolf spiders as I have grass spiders. Any ideas on how large of an enclosure/how much soil/how often to feed is best?
