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!

Amazing service,will be using bug frenzy again for future spider buys😃😃😃😃 
Beautiful Badge Huntsman (Neosparassus 'calligaster' Woomera locale) juvenile femalephil hughes
September 24, 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! 
Lion peacock spider male (maratus leo)Molly Freebody
October 28, 2020 Absolutely stoked with my Tarantula. Arrived safe & sound. Very well protected for postage delivery. 10/10 for packaging.

November 20, 2022 Awesome purchase and delivery. Very healthy and active eating well. Could not of asked for a better experience all round. 
"Try A Free Wolf" KitAnonymous
May 15, 2022 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.

May 7, 2022 Great service, amazing delivery! Scorpion arrived packaged perfectly and very healthy. IS now settled in and happily munching on crickets and woodies! 🙂

Good little encloser but i think he wants to make a little home in the top right corner so i may have to change it around so i dont ruin his webs. Other than that its a really good encloser 😁 
The Cube - Custom Acrylic EnclosureShellyanne Nixon
July 15, 2021 The only issue with the pinhead crickets I ordered was that I should have gotten more. Packed and priced unbelievably well and best of all my spider is fat and happy. 
Feeder CricketsCatherine Kennedy-Hone
July 20, 2021 Super happy about the sling and the size of the enclosure. Sling came looking super healthy and ate immediately. Whithin the first couple hours It started making its own burrow which was super cute to watch.

October 15, 2022 I ordered 2 of these bubs, both the sizes. The larger one I got, a blue, is the most vibrant centipede I've ever seen. Even over Nuda legs. The awesome photos do NOT do these beautiful critters justice.
