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 healthy, happy little dude 
Red-headed jumping spider (Maratus griseus) MalesRachael Loram
October 24, 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

Cricket Catcher and Bug HandlerSarra Furse
December 4, 2021 A slightly scarier species than some with BIG fangs and a bright yellow/orange underbelly but such a happy and calm boy, females are very calm also : )
Both male and female seem to like super thick a sometimes multiple nests high in the enclosure but they do it in record time, amazing nest makers!
Great starter species!
Prince Jumping spider (Opisthoncus nigrofemoratus) MaleSaul Aldridge
November 2, 2022 As in the description, this spider is very much calm. She can hop onto my hand and I'm not really worried about her bolting away (always just have to be careful with them). I'm happy she arrived safely and looks like she was fed very well! Absolutely adore her! 
Golden-Faced jumper (Sondra aurea) - Great beginner speciesRoxanne Niveri
June 2, 2022 Absolutely I’m love with my newest little baby! Thank you Bug Frenzy!! 
Red-headed jumping spider leopard form (Maratus griseus) captive-bred juvenilesJaime Orr
November 5, 2022 Happy with the little guy. His second left leg is shrunken looking compared to the others, but otherwise he's jumping and eating.
I would have liked to know some info about the spider I was getting at purchase or on the tub he came in.Giant bark jumping spider (Servaea incana)Sub/AdultsRobert
July 23, 2021 - A very convenient little kit, literally as easy as 1,2,3. The colony has already multiplied overnight as I can see many tiny little springtails jumping all about along with a considerable amount of adult ones 🙂

Red Mallee House Centipedejacob meredith-elali
March 8, 2022 Thank you so much for my Bug Box! Very well made. This is perfect for jumping spiders, as they like to make their webs UP top, and I know that when I open the door I’m not going to break their little webs. Very happy with my purchase and I’d definitely buy another one!

August 20, 2021 Great cleaning leftover foods from other critters. Very easy to care for and can multiply colonies. Highly recommended to have them in many specie tanks setup to make less cleaning or remove uneaten foods. Springtail KitChannarong Kiettipipat
November 17, 2020 - Received my Predatory Ground Beetles safe and sound! Excellent packing inside and clear instructions for couriers to take care! The bugs are extremely active and ate yesterday, they are also extremely active and love to climb.. highly recommend these critters
