Always pierce holes in pot a film off water traps spiderling causing death
I always have plenty off containers handy.Also a pair off good quality tweezers comes in handy for grabbing small crickets. I always chill my crickets in fridge for ten Minutes to slow them down. I use peat moss as a substrate but am slowly changing back to Vermiculite. I find it better to control humidity. Peat moss tends to mould up .This is Dangerous to spiderling. Also i have found it drys out Quicker.
I always feed at night. To minimise stress
The feeding off spiderlings is little and often. I feed as often as three times a week.I always give them one cricket crushed. Adding to many crickets can be harmful as they outnumber the spider. If the spider has stopped feeding because off moult. I only use brown crickets as I have found Black crickets to be to aggressive.In rare cases they will redily eat spiderling I always make sure cricket is dead. If they kick they can kill a spiderling by crushing it.
All uneaten food is removed. This could be a sign that spiderling is going into moult
