Ā Why keep insects as pets?
āWhy would anyone keep insects or even pet spiders?ā you might ask. Personally I love the beautiful, strange shape of insects, their colours, diversity, unusual behaviour and interesting life cycle. And luckily, many other people all over the world discover the fun in keeping insects as pets!
Invertebrates such as praying mantids and stick insects are fascinating and quite practical pets. They come in beautiful shapes and colours. It is fascinating to see the animals hunt, grow, molt, lay eggs and see their methods of camouflage and defenses.
An additional practical advantage, is their modest requirements for housing, care and food. Compared to common pets like cats, dogs, rodents and birds they require less time and space. They are also harmless, allergy-free and their food is less expensive than the food of most commons pets. All this makes them an increasingly popular group of animals to keep as pets, for young and old people alike!

Murray River wolf spider (Venator sp. nov) Captive Bred JuvenilesKat McDonald
August 23, 2022 I ordered 2 of these bubs, both the sizes. The larger one I got, a blue, is the most vibrant centipede I've ever seen. Even over Nuda legs. The awesome photos do NOT do these beautiful critters justice.

Social Huntsman (Delena cancerides) captive-bred juvenilesTahli Fuller
April 17, 2022 Absolutely love this enclosure.
Itās the perfect size for a small jumper. The screw top lid makes maintenance/feeding/interaction with my spider easy and much less distressing for her and myself (a beginner keeper with arachnophobia).
Conveniently portable and makes spotting your smaller/juvenile jumpers much easier too.
Very fast delivery. Looking forward to ordering more x

Happy with the little guy. His second left leg is shrunken looking compared to the others, but otherwise he's jumping and eating.
