#jumpday is every Saturday!

How #JumpDay Works on Our Website

#JumpDay is our weekly event where we release new jumping spider stock every Saturday, following our stocktake. This process ensures fairness and excitement for our community of enthusiasts. Below is a step-by-step breakdown of how it unfolds:

  1. Preparation and Stocktake: Each Saturday, we conduct a thorough stocktake to determine the available jumping spider species. The exact time of the update varies and is not predetermined, as it depends on the completion of this process.
  2. Joining the Notification List: To get early access to the upcoming stock list, visitors can join our email notification list. Simply stay on the jumping spider page of our website for more than one minute, and a popup will appear prompting you to enter your email address. This signs you up to receive exclusive previews.
  3. Email Notification: Once the stock is ready, we send an email to everyone on the notification list. This email includes a detailed list of the jumping spider species that will be available that day.
  4. Waiting Period: We wait until all recipients have had a chance to receive and review the email, ensuring everyone on the list gets equal opportunity.
  5. Website Update and Go-Live: After the waiting period, we update the stock on the website and make the new jumping spiders available for purchase.
  6. Social Announcement: Simultaneously, we announce #JumpDay on our social media channels (Facebook and Instagram) to alert the broader community.
  7. Sales Window: The new stock typically sells out within minutes due to high demand, so we recommend acting quickly once it’s live.

Jumping Spider Care

Taking care of your jumper

Jumping spiders are not hard to take care of, but you do have to check on your spider daily to see that his needs are met.  Generally jumping spiders need a bit of space, even though they are tiny and also need a variety of objects to explore in its enclosure such as tiny logs, faux plants etc.  They love to jump and explore their surroundings and therefore, keeping a jumping spider can be very rewarding if you interact with it outside of its enclosure and let it get some exercise.

Your jumping spider will learn to trust you and get to know you over time.  Leaving a couple of bite sized crickets in its enclosure, misting it once a week lightly and providing enough hiding places should cover it’s needs.

If you are uncertain about taking care of your jumping spider please send us an email!

General information

  • Jumping spiders do not live very long – most species only live up to 3 years
  • Peacock spider males in particular have very short life spans (some only 3 – 4 months).
  • Females live longer than males
  • Jumping spiders are very sensitive to climatic changes as well as moisture/dryness levels.
  • Jumping spiders prefer to eat flying insects such as fruit flies, flies, hover flies etc, but will eat crickets (appropriate size).
  • Jumping spiders are some of the few species that can be handled safely as long as it is less than 20 minutes per day (no to stress them).
  • Please take note of the age of your jumping spider when purchasing – adult jumping spiders (especially males) may only live a couple of months. Therefore, we do not guarantee our jumping spiders for more than 7 days after shipping.
  • Unless otherwise stated, our jumping spiders are ethically and sustainably wild caught. Read about our ethics here.
  • We currently have a breeding program in place – check out our breeding room for more information.
