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!

Very active and curious fella. Decent size for a peacock and never turns down a meal. His little waving front legs are also super cute.

"Try A Free Wolf" KitKassidy Johnston
June 6, 2022 A VERY beautiful species and definitely large for a stumpy/square profile Aussie jumper.
While hunting, it moves almost like a robot with slow cautious steps but when in range, a super fast takedowns, awesome!
Plenty of room in the Bug Frenzy Tall Bug box kit.
Thanks again Bug Frenzy : )

January 23, 2022 My little jumping spider, Colin, is adorable and curious and energetic. He arrived in good health in 2 days! Giant bark jumping spider (Servaea incana)Sub/AdultsScott Membry
July 27, 2021 I love this little guy - I have named him Eucalyptus (not sure if he’s a he or she!) A very inquisitive spider and always comes out of his web to say hello to me. It’s fascinating watching him catch crickets and he has a glorious big booty after he finishes his meal!
He’s furry, cute and very entertaining, I want ten of him! Arrived safely, active and healthy. Highly recommended!Giant bark jumping spider (Servaea incana)Sub/AdultsMarilyn Sant
August 8, 2021 - A bit small but it is great size for a little spider/baby spider. Bought it with my baby wolf spider and he is loving it. I would however recommend buying extra substrate (~500g) from these guys to have a good amount of substrate and to have extra just in case. Otherwise it is so cute and I love it. Very easy to observe the spider with it and I like the latch 🙂 Horizontal Kit - Mini Bug Box Custom Acrylic Enclosure

August 9, 2021 Very sassy and large! I got a male originally but he didn't survive the travel and bug frenzy was very quick to replace him for me with a very sassy and defensive female that's in amazing shape 
Union-Jack wolf spider (Tasmanicosa gilberta)Zack Mikellides
January 20, 2021 Absolutely stunning little guy, very friendly and active.

September 29, 2021
The perfect enclosure for my spoods – the only problem was that the bark hide included in the jumper kit was infested with some kind of bug, I had to dispose of it incase it was termites because they seemed to be chewing at the bark
