We love bugs!

Bug Frenzy is a family business based in South Australia.  All our invertebrates are either captive bred, or sustainably and ethically sourced. We love bugs and want to  encourage that love in others, to educate and ensure that these wonderful creatures will be here for generations to come.  We stock a range of insects – from Scorpions to Stick Insects, Pet Spiders and Roaches and everything inbetween!

 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!

    5 Star Review  Everything was very well packaged, and he arrived quickly and safely!
    He is very lively and tame, enjoys exploring (although he loves sneaking into the gaps of the seals).
    Such a big personality in such a tiny jumper!

    I also ordered the Jumperanium 2.0 kit, which comes with everything that you need. I have 2 at the moment, and love how the accessories are also a little different from each other, so each enclosure has their own vibe.
    Thank you so much! Will definitely be ordering again!

  • 5 Star Review  Absolutely love this enclosure.

    It’s the perfect size for a small jumper. The screw top lid makes maintenance/feeding/interaction with my spider easy and much less distressing for her and myself (a beginner keeper with arachnophobia).
    Conveniently portable and makes spotting your smaller/juvenile jumpers much easier too.

    Very fast delivery. Looking forward to ordering more x

    5 Star Review  My son loves the jumping spider. His name is Aragog and he has settled in well. He has built a large hammock and decorated with cricket skulls.
