Turns out my seven-legged wolf spider is a lady, and she is now carting around an egg sac. This was rather unexpected, but I want to let her hatch the babies. However, I've never tried raising spider babies before.
My plan is to herd her into a little container with a mesh lid before they hatch so I don't end up with tiny baby spiders all over my apartment once they start leaving mama's back. Presumably they'll eat whatever I feed her while they're riding around (crickets), but after they start hopping off on their own, what do I feed them? Fruit flies? Pinhead crickets? Should I just gather them up as they leave her and put them outside to do their thing? (They're a local species.)
Any advice is much appreciated! Thanks!
