Yep. I’ve got a male regal jumper as well. The spider pictured passed a few weeks ago unfortunately.

No. If it isn’t moving, they don’t really see them as prey to capture. I can sometimes trick the lizard with a dead cricket, but the spider is much more selective.
I should mention I have a jumping spider, not the typical web-spinning spider.

I went through a lot of searches on euthanasia for small insects when my pet spider was struggling to get around and stopped eating.
Basically, all the methods are slow, painful and scary… Except for one. Crushing is near instant, faster than they can register pain, just a spider one moment and a smear the next. It’s probably the toughest way for you, but it’s the fastest, least painful, and least stressful way for them.

I have to live feed crickets to my pet spiders and gecko… Whether or not they feel pain, it still doesn’t looks like a clean or easy way to go.
Learn from my mistake, don’t get pets that need live foods.

It’s only a meter of time until anime titles and wish/temu item descriptions collide.
