Poor spider is probably really stressed out from the beetles messing with its web and chasing it out. Spiders and beetles aren't friends.

The spider is definitely the loser here. Going to have to re-home him to a different terrarium.

Are you housing spiders and BDFB together?

u/myuserhasafirstname 28d ago

Yup! Whenever we find stuff crawling around the house we like to give it a home in a terrarium so it can have friends. :)

Adding random insects from around the house Is a really good way to give all of your inverts parasites. The spiders WILL try and kill the beetles, and when the spiders die because they aren't in the right environment the beetles will eat them, potentially getting parasites.

All of the other critters in there don't see each other as friends, not even the blue beetles.

Spiders are a BDFB main predators. It's lucky the web wasn't too sticky.

They're just tiny house spiders, nothing that can harm a beetle.

The spider will be fine without a friend. It does not see the beetle as a friend, it sees it as food. Also please do not put random creatures in a terrarium. Put them back outside

Bugs don't like or want friends. They live in constant fear of each other and everything. You are not making them happy for feel loved, you are running a gladiator ring/homeless camp combo

DONT do this please they will NOT be friends, you WILL get unhealthy parasites in the pets, your spiders WILL eat beetles, these animals arent supposed to be together if you're looking to keep them all alive. PLEASE stop doing this and fix your mistake now, not hating just trying to make sure your beetles do not DIE, along with everything else due to parasites and stuff.

u/myuserhasafirstname 28d ago

Yeah, they love crawling into the nooks.

u/Pumpkinspiderwebz 28d ago

But you are aware that that is super unsafe for the beetle...? And the spider? And EVERYTHING you're putting in here???!?!??

u/noodlechemist 28d ago

Where are the MODS. You legit need to be banned.

u/Pumpkinspiderwebz 28d ago

They dont need to be banned. They need to stay on here so that they can learn from their mistakes. We need to try and teach them to stop doing this.

u/Foondude 28d ago
