To care for them is similar to small mantids, here's an example of a set up i used for Mediterrainian jumping spiders.



Ventilation is VERY important, they must be well ventilated or you will experiance deaths, this has happened to a hell of a lot of people, me included
As for food they eat quite a few things, the slings will eat fruit flies or pin heads, hatchlings will probably either eat the smaller fruit flies or if its a small jumper then there's always spring tails.
