Blowflies are the ideal food for jumping spiders from a size of FH7, mantids and also tarantula spiderlings. They are not only a natural food source, but also perfect for storing and dosing.

The maggots can be stored in the fridge for several weeks. Due to the low temperature, the maggots develop very slowly. To feed them, you can simply put the desired number of maggots into the terrarium with tweezers. This way, for example, the jumping spider can eat the maggot directly or if it is not hungry, a fly will develop after a few days and the jumping spider will then have another opportunity to feed. To enhance and prolong the life of the hatched flies, they can be fed with honey or sugar.

 

Blowflies and also the maggots of the blowfly are harmless for the fosterlings. Even during the critical moulting phase, the flies or maggots do not disturb the animals.
