Silver Marsh Spider

Postby Lillypod » Mon Jul 08, 2013 8:25 am

Hey everyone

I found a silver marsh spider in one of my rabbit cages. I won't even mention how scared I am of it. Can someone tell me if they are venomous? I'd like to let it back in my yard (so it can continue to catch insects), but if it can be harmful to any of my animals (dogs, rodents, rabbits) I'd rather take it to the greenbelt.

Thank you

Completely harmless, I would not be surprised if your rabbits ended up eating the spider instead.

Haha! My rabbits are to lazy. They don't even want to walk to their food bowls most of the time...
