Have been buying from Rainbow Mealworms for several years. They are the greatest! Best quality feeders, really wonderful people work there. Highly recommended!!
Thank you for your relies. She seems lively today. I spray the glass near her daily. Besides crickets, what might she enjoy (besides my finger)?
I replaced the top layer of her cage with moist cocoearth.
We had a damon medius who never bit and was friendly, and have a tinyphrinus who sits on...
Our five year old female was on the ground instead of on her cork bark, where she normally hangs out. Was worried about her so picked her up. She bit me, drawing enough blood that i had to get a napkin to stop it! Didnt mean to scare her. Hope she is ok. She is about 5 1/2 yrs old. She eats...
We just sadly lost our female, Toots, who we have had for five years, who was an adult when we got her. We are desperately seeking a new phrynus. Toots was very friendly and adorable. We live on the central coast of California.
Last night, another orb weaver appeared and seemed to be looking for Red. He (presumably) made a web right next to hers. He is smaller and brown. Sadly Red did not reappear. Do spiders locate one another by pheromones?

Red, who made an egg but who keeps making small webs each night, seems hungry. Nothing is ending up in her web. I tried tossing 2 week and 3 week crickets into her web but they wouldnt stick. Cant find any flying bugs for her. Any suggestions? Thank you.—still traumatized by Charlottes Web
Every dayand night, i check out our spiders outside. Only orb weaver i have seen for a month is Red. Am attaching her photo. Why are there so few orb weavers? Climate change? We live in CA and it has been extra hot. 90-115 F.
