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!

Pretty Rock Hopper Female (Undescribed Euophyrinae)Saul Aldridge
November 21, 2022 - At first I couldn’t see any springtails and was worried that I set up the enclosure wrong. But sure enough they have multiplied and I now have a thriving culture. Everything was provided to set up the springtails including food, all you have to do is set it up and wait. Very easy to use kit. Thank you.

April 21, 2021 Beautiful looking little spider that I hope will turn into a very big spider 
Australian Rainforest Tarantula (Phlogius sp. Pseudocrassipes) Advanced slingsChris Hall
July 23, 2022 Came in good condition and well packaged as always. The pedeling is missing a terminal leg, however, with the next moult it will grow back so no biggie. I’ve had it for two days now and it hasn’t eaten, perhaps indicating it’s in a pre-moult. It appears to be a heavy burrowing species and it stays hidden away most of the day.. yet to see it at night when it is primarily active

September 29, 2021 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!
