Grey House Spiders (Zosis geniculata) 10 pack - ideal food for Fringed Jumping Spiders
I actually purchased them to get rid of my bug problem... They rushed out of the packet and started webbing up straight away! They've caught quite a few bugs in a few days and I'm pretty sure they're deterring others by hanging their dead mates around. I need some slightly bigger spiders though.
Package arrived intact but some had already escaped and ran off as I opened the box. Since then more have managed to escape and make webs where I store their container. Decent size for smaller spider food, i.e. for some jumping spiders, black house spiders, brown house spiders, etc. Average source of food. Tend to prefer crickets of various sizes. These spiders don't move around all that much and they build webs everywhere. My spiders don't seem that interested in hunting them.
Bought some multiple times, usually a variety of sizes allowing some to continue to grow while the fully grown ones are fed off first.
The first lot of the spiders I ordered were eaten by ants, but Minibeast replaced them free of charge, the next pack I received had much smaller air holes so ants couldn't get in. The spiders themselves are easy to handle, I'd recommend letting them hang off a drag line as you lower them into your pet Jumping spider's enclosure. You can easily tell if your jumping spider is interested or not, if they are, they'll starting their stalking behaviour pretty much immediately, if not, the house spider is easy to remove, and unlike some of the other insects and garden spiders I've fed my P. fimbriata, there's virtually no danger to your spider of being injured by these spiders.
