Why keep insects as pets?
“Why would anyone keep insects or even pet spiders?” 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!

Basic Bug EnclosureJason Melide
August 9, 2021 Absolutely Great, Best price by a mile!
Exactly what I needed.
Fast shipping, I received my order 3 days after purchasing in perfect condition.
I also purchased the acrylic sliding lid to match, it works like a dream.
My Tarantula has already moved in and has heavily webbed the entire enclosure!
I brought everything I needed to move my T into its new home With no issues.
Couldn’t ask for more!
Thank you BugFrenzy!

Black rock scorpion (Urodacus manicatus)Captive Bred babiesShantel Wilson
July 10, 2022 A well designed, quality enclosure. Ordered with the beach boy kit which looks really great! The bag the sand came in had ripped though, which had put sand all over everything in the package and was a bit messy with unpacking. Aside from that I’m extremely happy and would definitely buy again.

July 27, 2021 I liked my new centipede. It is healthy and very active. Thanks. 
Striped Centipede (Scolopendra laeta)Dogan EKINCI
November 14, 2022 My little guy arrived today. He arrived so quickly and was well hydrated and was very lively! Ate a cricket after being in his new enclosure for a while. He’s extremely cheeky, loves hiding in the seals of the enclosure. He really loves the log provided for him, provides a good place to hide. We love him already!

July 17, 2022 -
I ordered a spider and a starting kit. I received my Lion Peacock Jumping Spider and kit a week ago. The shipping and packaging process was immaculate. I did expect some extra information within the box to let me know when my spider last ate but one quick email to Bug Frenzy and I had an answer.
I did have to modify the terrarium slightly as my jumper really wanted to make a hammock on the seal. I hope that in the future Bug Frenzy will have a terrarium available that opens from the middle so that the spider and their hammocks are less disturbed. I really love the little knick-knacks they sell for the terrarium they currently have on offer. My spider really loves them too. Looking forward to ordering again from Bug Frenzy.Lion peacock spider male (maratus leo)christie phillips
October 15, 2020 This is the only Jumper I've had that is happier on my hand than in its enclosure and very funny, it randomly jumps strait up in the air and then calmly looks around like "what happened" SO FUNNY 🙂
BUT at the same time she easily takes down crickets bigger than she is, WOW!
You want a happy to be handled and very entertaining jumping spider this is a GREAT option.
Thanks Bug Frenzy!
Spotted beach jumper (Opisthoncus sp.)Saul Aldridge
October 15, 2022 Super happy about the sling and the size of the enclosure. Sling came looking super healthy and ate immediately. Whithin the first couple hours It started making its own burrow which was super cute to watch.
