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!

Absolutely adore my little Baby! Super calm, even a little cowardly, and likes to wander about the cage. Love it! 
Grey-Green Rock Scorpion (Urodacus planimanus)Jennifer Eaton
October 20, 2021 This little guy arrived happy & energetic & couldn't wait to explore the new environment I created.
Very friendly & inquisitive.
Bug Frenzy are fantastic to deal with & I highly recommend them!!
I will be purchasing through them again!!
Giant green jumping spider (Mopsus mormon) Captive Bred JuvenileCrystal Austin
October 30, 2022 Everything was very well packaged, and he arrived quickly and safely!
He is very lively and tame, enjoys exploring (although he loves sneaking into the gaps of the seals).
Such a big personality in such a tiny jumper!
I also ordered the Jumperanium 2.0 kit, which comes with everything that you need. I have 2 at the moment, and love how the accessories are also a little different from each other, so each enclosure has their own vibe.
Thank you so much! Will definitely be ordering again!
White-Haired Peacock jumping spider (Maratus Albus) MaleChak Cheung
October 15, 2020 Great value and a really nice size for a tarantula sling or advanced sling. I'm glad i ordered the kit with the fake plants. They look great in the enclosure!

October 1, 2022
Good little encloser but i think he wants to make a little home in the top right corner so i may have to change it around so i dont ruin his webs. Other than that its a really good encloser š 
The Cube - Custom Acrylic EnclosureShellyanne Nixon
July 15, 2021 Best jumper Iāve gotten so far! Came packaged nicely as always, the jumper also arrived in healthy condition upon opening package. At first I was worried about not seeing the jumper as it burrowed on the surface of the sand to make its silk bubble hide. I dropped a pinhead cricket in and left the spider to relax. The second day I noticed the jumper come out to appreciate some sun.. it has the same routine every morning and late afternoon of exploring and hunting around itās enclosure. As well as being rather quite active itās extremely beautiful and the patterns accompanied with the colours has me sitting there for minutes just watching. Always takes to food, no problems whatsoever. Just buy one when theyāre stocked!!

Heās furry, cute and very entertaining, I want ten of him! Arrived safely, active and healthy. Highly recommended!
