Small Wonders Inverts

02/02/2023

Apologies for the hiatus everyone- my health took another turn. This is why I do not take any orders or money until I'm completely certain I can follow through an adoption quickly! I've been to urgent care, 2 specialists, and gone through 4 different prescriptions with no luck. I'm just staying on top of my animal care and health at the moment!

01/05/2023

Please bear with me as i get to my messages! I recently got a large number and my health isn't the best right now. I am currently getting bloodwork and testing done and I will try to get to everyone by saturday night! Sorry and thank you for your support and patience!

I'll be updating everyone's tracking as soon as Fedex has picked up all the babies! This weather is so lucky, and seems to be holding strong until friday, which is just perfect for shipping.

It's rather unfortunate to be having such a warm winter, for the wildlife, but at least I can rest easy knowing my babies will be safe! I'll be checking tracking info tomorrow for any delays! ♥

01/02/2023

Not feeling well, but I will be sending out tuesdays shipments as planned! You will get your tracking once they are with fedex

Good evening! Sorry for the late night post everyone

I could not be more overjoyed with the kindness and patience of everyone inquiring for the last of my babies this year, I am so happy to see them all go to their forever homes!

I've been nursing my partner who is feeling very ill this week, and I ended up passing out at 6 pm! Sometimes you dont know how tired you are until you stop for a moment... Then it all catches up to you! I'll be trying to take things slower this week and pace myself better. All the shipments will go out on Tuesday like usual, my weather is amazing but heat packs are always available just in case! I've completed almost all of my pairings for the upcoming year (2023) so fingers crossed for babies in the spring and summer! ♥

Some gorgeous babies are being adopted! We are almost out, so bear with me as I give people their options, I actually need to wait for them to choose before offering the other babies to other people ^_^

If you are okay with a random pick, let me know in my messages! I'm down to my absolutely last few!

Thank you all for your support, kindness, and giving my babies amazing homes!

Thank you everyone for your support!

During the holidays the shipping of live creatures can be delayed up to two weeks, so I refrained. If anyone is interested in phidippus regius juveniles, please message me now!

I have heat packs to keep them safe in all conditions, though if theres a massive storm it can cause delays and I wont be putting my babies out in them!

12/19/2022

Alright everybody! After 2+ months, my health has finally returned to something semblancing normal! Please bear with me as I resume my normal work and activity!

On that note, there are Phidippus regius juveniles who are still looking for home!

In addition, I might have some Western Black Widow babies available, as well as Grass Spiders for adoption! Their mother was huge, so im hoping for big babies once they grow up as well!

The Ghost Mantis nymphs have already been claimed, but hopefully the next ooths will also hatch out! Their parents were so healthy and sweet, these babies are growing up so fast and eating well!

I've been pairing my audax bryantae and otiosus, hoping for fertile sacs! Fingers crossed everyone ♥

Temporarily taking a hiatus due to health issues getting more severe,

I will be temporarily closing my form submissions, and attending to those who have already filled one as best as I can, for this upcoming tuesday and then I will hopefully be back with a vengeance when I am on top of my health again

in other news... Ghost babies! 🥰
Once these guys are well started they'll be ready for adoption! Their mother Jassica and father Jorts both gorgeous and strong ghosts and i'm so excited to see how they grow up!

Lately I've been in poor health, and the time I have to dedicate to this page is limited- I run Salticidae Information & Guides, and keep many beautiful animals I love more than anything, and my time is dedicated to those tasks far more than anything on this page!

I put my effort where I'm passionate, and making sales is certainly not that! I am not a store, and I also do my work alone ^_^ All animal care, packaging, and messaging is on my plate and I absolutely love it, including educating and helping folks with their jumpers or other invertebrates. But, this means it can take a long time to get back to folks, and i understand not everyone wants to wait or appreciates that!

I feel that I havent said it properly, so I will say it now:
I am not a store! I dont care about money, and i will not prioritize sales over my pets, my hobby, or my health! It may take a while for me to get back to you, and dont forget that technology is not perfect- messages get lost, missed, or even not received at all, and I am a human, not a machine, who can always remember and do everything perfectly! I also am chronically ill, and need to take as much time I can for my health, which is honestly still not enough. At every opportunity I am educating, and working with animals, and people that I love and cherish. Thats my primary focus and that wont ever be changing!

I'm very sorry to anyone I havent gotten back to, or has felt frustrated or like I dont care! But, my priorities are sorted, solid, and not changing! My animals and helping folks comes first, then my health and loved ones, I am not a business or trying to make money, I only want my babies to get loving homes! Its alright with me if you buy from somewhere else, as long as your experience is a great one and you have a healthy new spider ^_^

I wanted to be more transparent about this and my operations with this post!

To those that patiently wait and have appreciated my time, care, and passion: Thank you so much!

To those who want to adopt sooner, I completely understand, and its alright ^_^

Theres a lovely list of folks in Salticidae Information & Guides to adopt from, who are all incredible and hardworking people, and a lot of them put time and effort towards adoptions, than I do!

Please dont hesitate to adopt elsewhere if you want a quicker experience! I give people my full attention when I do have the time and try to make the process as wonderful, helpful, and educational as I can! Like I said, this takes a lot of time, and I am only one human being, who also needs to do things like sleep, and eat! I spent 12+ hours a day with my animals and helping people, and sometimes I need to take multiple days to recover and rest. I am not a fan of putting my personal situations or "excuses" out, so i often refrain! But I do want to at least say it once, so folks understand what my daily life is like. I spend maybe a couple hours a day with adopters, but I spend *all* day helping folks in my group and private messages, every day!

I often find that people forget that we are all human beings, with complex and ever expanding lives, and lots on our plate! My fellow breeders as well, we are all humans with more than just a page for adoptions, and I hope that people will keep kindness and understanding in their hearts when speaking to the people who make this hobby possible! We are all doing our best, every single day! Sometimes that means out of 30 people I only get to 10 or 20 of them, and the rest have to wait. I know there are many people who see the work i do and understand, and appreciate it for what it is. Certainly I am not the best at quick sales, and responding immediately to every message I get! Thats just not my "brand" though! I love the life I currently have and all my creatures, and I think that is the whole point of life ^_^

Again: I will prioritize my animals' care and helping folks on my group and other groups, over making sales! If you need information or advice, please come to my group where I put a lot more time into educating!

If your priority is quick adoption, I know right now regally_insane, Spiders in the Attic, Mountain Spooders, and Spoodville can help you out! ^_^

So many adorable babies headed to new homes this past month! Thank you all for the patience while I work through my orders ♥

Its so hard to part with these darling angels I raised since the moment they were born, but nothing makes me happier than seeing happy families absolutely in love with their new additions.

If theres any questions or concerns dont hesitate to message me, even if its not about a baby you adopted from me! I'm always happy to help out, my concern is always the quality of life of every single spider.

And if you enjoyed your adoption with me, or have any constructive criticism, please do let me know or post a review in Salticidae Breeder Reviews North America or Jumping Spider Breeder Reviews USA! I know some people have been waiting on forms for a good while, I never expected the huge surge of inquiries! I'm very honored and grateful to the people who want to adopt from me! ^_^ I am on the last dozen or so, now! If you left me a form but havent messaged me yet, please do! I have a few folks I can find on my personal facebook, but I am trying to move things here when I can since it is a bit easier to keep track of :)

In the meantime if anyone is wanting to adopt sooner than I can provide, please check out the incredible people at Spiders in the Attic, regally_insane, Spoodville, Arachne’s Realm of Spiders, Mountain Spooders, ✨Boujee Spoodies✨ and more folks on the recommended breeder list in Salticidae Information & Guides!

I'm finally going through all of my forms, and a great many people who submitted one never sent a message so that our means of contact is open!

As a page, I cannot actually message people unless they are interacting with my page publicly, so I cant hunt you down or anything like that! You need to message me to properly submit an order! Please do so if you havent already!

If you have, I will be updating you this morning with any info you need!

10/11/2022

Everyones on their way! I'll be watching the tracking from my end and make sure theres no issues! Thank you to all my wonderful adopters and I cant wait to see these babies with their new families ♥

10/11/2022

So many babies going to their new homes today!!

Shipments are proceeding as scheduled
