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!

Love these enclosures 
Vertical Kit - Mini Bug Box Custom Acrylic Enclosurekristie gillin
April 10, 2022 I've got quite a few of these little enclosures at this point and I'm happy with every single one I've received. They're big enough to allow my tarantula slings to explore and the way the bottom is designed seems to encourage my burrowers to run their tunnels around the edge instead of disappearing into the middle. Visibility is great too, if you like to really see what your little spider is up to these are a good investment.

"Try A Free Wolf" KitAnonymous
June 7, 2022 - The enclosure is such high quality and the price is really good as I've seen some of competing quality for a much higher price. I also love that you can add on a starter kit for the enclosure so as a new keeper, such as myself, you have everything you need to set you up for success.

Feather-legged tarantula (Selenotypus sp. Exevale) adult femalesPriscilla Jessop
December 2, 2021 A very solid little enclosure! Arrived to rural NSW pretty fast and was well packed in a solid little cardboard box so no damage. If anyone needs to know - it's sent already built, not as a flatpack. I like that the locking mechanism on the side requires you to click/snap it into place. The hinges are tight without being restrictive, but give you full control - i.e. the door won't come flying open on its own which is fantastic. The joins are also really clean! I've seen similar enclosures that are messily glued together. Thank you, Bug Frenzy! The Mini Bug Box - Custom Acrylic EnclosureJenna Thompson
