orb weavers eat any kind of flying insect that gets caught in their web. if you are caring for one i would say just don't put something in there that's too huge.

spiders in general just eat any kind of insect they can get their fangs on. mealworms, crickets, flies, moths, butterflies, beetles, etc. one thing i don't know is how often they have to eat. I'm almost positive orb weavers don't have to eat every day though. but I'm not sure if you should feed them once a week or every couple of days.

Is the orb weaver spider dangerous to dogs?

First, it depends on the type of orb weaver. Cross orb weavers, for example, are big and hairy, but they don't bite especially when handled correctly (I know from handling both genders of the cross orb weaver) If you disturb an orb weaver while it is on it's web, the spider will only run to one of the many sides of the web. To find what type I describe the spider in the google images search bar and then I search for what looks the most like the spider that I saw. And if I were you, I would find a reliable source that tells whether or not the spider is dangerous. Thanks for reading! (I love spiders)
