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!

Arrived very alert and very speedy. Smaller than I expected but at least I can watch him/her grow. The kit is basic with a enclosure, substrate and fake plant. No hide or even small piece of bark for them to hide under so will have to find something to put in there. Otherwise very happy with my new spider friend.

September 23, 2021 This is my first time buying from Bug Frenzy and getting a Wolfie. He's so active, small and inquisitive. I've only had him for a day, but I love him already! He and the crickets all came well packaged too. Excellent job Bug Frenzy, I look forward to purchasing from you again. 🙂

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.

October 20, 2022 Small packet but just enough for one small enclosure's substrate. The sand is very fine and soft.

February 7, 2022 I’m in love with this little critter. He is so very inquisitive and friendly. Healthy little guy too. Can’t wait to buy more! Giant bark jumping spider (Servaea incana)Sub/AdultsShannon Giles
August 20, 2021 - 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 The kit was great for a starter enclosure for these babies, not suitable for adults but definitely going to get a couple months out of it. Pantropical Tuxedo Jumper Juvie (Menemerus bivittatus)Damian Swales
July 11, 2021 Very good communication. It was not an advanced sling/small juvie, though, it was a sling.
