Why do you think Spiderleg ignore his kits? Was a reason ever said?

He just wasn't ready for kids, or fatherhood. He cares bout Daisy, but found it hard to be around her and their kits because he was unprepared. Does that make him a bad dad? To a degree, yeah, but he at least tried to make up for it, it just was a bit too late since he dies later from sickness.

Not really. He says himself that he feels awkward around them as kits, and that he never meant to have them.

He had an one night stand with Daisy and never meant to have kits with her. He wasn't ready for fatherhood.

he wasn't ready for fatherhood, and didn't mean to have kits with her, although that is a reason it's a horrible one.

I don’t think he ever really ignored his kits per say, he just was not a naturally talented father, nor was he ready to become one. He did try to be an invested father once he was given a good pep talk, but one thing I actually loved about DaisySpider was their realistic break up and how not every person or cat is ready or suited for parenthood, but trying to do so shows that there is certainly room to grow. I firmly believe that Spiderleg and Daisy still loved eachother very deeply and should have gotten back together, but alas, Spiderleg gets an off-page death and yeah, ugh.
They handled SpiderDaisy really well, coming from a child of divorced parents who still were there for their kids even if they had their own flaws and incapabilities.

What has already been stated, also from what I can remember, Spiderleg was sick with greencough when they were kits, because there was a scene where he's playing badger with them, and he's like "Badgers don't get greencough." or something like that, which I think that could have been a reason. I know it's not an in-universe reason, but it makes sense since greencough is highly contagious and dangerous.
