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!

Flinders ranges scorpion (Urodacus elongatus Juvies/Sub-adultsLouisa Davidson
September 6, 2022 LOVE this product! It’s my second from this store as the first one was just what I needed for small spiders. Excellent craftsmanship, super easy to use and clean and lockable to prevent the kids accidentally releasing pets into the house! Can’t go wrong.

Kuranda Speckled Katydid (Diastella kuranda)Ashley Cornish
June 28, 2022 Bought this a few months ago so a rather late review but arrived safe and healthy and has been doing well, grown a bit since I've taken this picture too 
Orange rock scorpion (Lychas truncatus)Cherisse Jones
October 14, 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 species
June 2, 2022 The tiny Striped peacock arrived safe but he's not happy in any enclosure other than a tiny 10cm x 7cm x 5cm clear soap container, one half substrate and the other half nothing, the only place he'll eats his flys, so strange!
Very fast and skittish species probably due to its size and fast metabolism, doesn't really like being handled but too small anyway, very slowly getting used to his new home.
To be expected from some species.
Thanks Bug Frenzy!Striped peacock spider (Jotus sp. 1)Saul Aldridge
October 15, 2022 - Very curious little one it’s settling in quite well though. I can’t wait to see what it looks like when it’s older. I’ve basically made it my little baby

Basic Bug EnclosureJason Melide
August 9, 2021 Just as pictured, I only ordered substrate with the enclosure.
I purchased before I made my scorpion purchase as I needed to see how it would be & get it all set up before they arrived 😁
Happy customer and no doubt will be making many future purchases!
