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!

Vertical Kit - Mini Bug Box Custom Acrylic EnclosureBrooke Spencer
May 22, 2022 Great little sleeping pod for jumpers, maybe a little pricy with postage but with a multiple item order it's not to bad.
I have a serious cocoon building jumper and I'm sure he will love this.
Think I need a few more, lol
Thanks Bug Frenzy : )
Jumping Spider Sleeping PodSaul Aldridge
November 21, 2022 Ordered two little bugs and they arrived quicker than the enclosure I bought a week before hopefully they are happy in their new home just in time for Christmas! 
Violet-winged stick insect (Didymuria violescens) nymphsRebecca Farrugia
December 18, 2021 Such a cute and inquisitive little dude! As soon as I put my little one in their enclosure they were walking all around and investigating. So happy with my little Zebedee!

November 8, 2021 Scorpion has arrived super healthy active, couldn’t be happier. Would always recommend these guys. 
Desert Scorpion (Urodacus yaschenkoi)Anonymous
October 1, 2022 Arrived happy and healthy! Feliz was packed perfectly inside the cube custom acrylic enclosure I bought. It's amazing to watch Feliz hunt, jump around the cube and wave his little legs around. Couldn't be happier and would definitely buy more jumping spiders from here in the future.

Good kit, I was expecting the water dish to be like something in the photo but was a small seashell. 
Spider Hunter/Lychas Buchari Juvie Kit (Excludes scorpion)Alyssa Baker
November 3, 2021 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)
October 15, 2022 - Amazing service …again. No complaints. What a fantastic business. Thank you
