 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!

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. 🙂 
"Try A Free Wolf" KitShea Hands-Otte
May 5, 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.

Leeham Rawlins
July 22, 2021 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.

November 1, 2021 Beautiful spider, very healthy and alert. Arrived safely and well packaged. 
Blue-eyed peacock spider (Maratus chlorophthalmus) maleKellie Newell
May 7, 2022 Perfect size for even larger centipedes but it does come a little shallow on substrate which is perfectly fine for centipedes who don't burrow much like my scolopendra morsitans who like to hang on top a lot but is a bit of a problem for my ethmostigmus rubripes who likes to spend a lot of time under the substrate so in such cases I can recommend picking up a little extra substrate with it
