“…Maria Trabalon [27] looked at spider breeding welfare and compared the body mass and locomotory and exploratory behaviour of the wolf spider, Pardosa saltans, between spiders, immediately after they were caught, wild-caught spiders after being kept 15 days in the laboratory and laboratory-reared spiders. The results showed that while laboratory rearing increased body mass, it reduced behavioural activities, although this reduction could be mitigated by providing litter to the rearing chambers.…”
