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 I've got quite a few of these little enclosures at this point and I'm happy with every single one I've received. They're big enough to allow my tarantula slings to explore and the way the bottom is designed seems to encourage my burrowers to run their tunnels around the edge instead of disappearing into the middle. Visibility is great too, if you like to really see what your little spider is up to these are a good investment. Mini Clear View EnclosureJonty Norris
