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!

Hugh quality and perfect size for most inverts. Love the fact that it can be turned on its side for more ground dwelling inverts. 
The Mini Bug Box - Custom Acrylic EnclosureChloe Johnson
February 6, 2022 Best jumper I’ve gotten so far! Came packaged nicely as always, the jumper also arrived in healthy condition upon opening package. At first I was worried about not seeing the jumper as it burrowed on the surface of the sand to make its silk bubble hide. I dropped a pinhead cricket in and left the spider to relax. The second day I noticed the jumper come out to appreciate some sun.. it has the same routine every morning and late afternoon of exploring and hunting around it’s enclosure. As well as being rather quite active it’s extremely beautiful and the patterns accompanied with the colours has me sitting there for minutes just watching. Always takes to food, no problems whatsoever. Just buy one when they’re stocked!!

Royal Blue/Purple Centipede (Scolopendra laeta gibber form)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.

April 21, 2021 Bit of a wild card. But a great fitment to the current invert family. 
Grey-Green Rock Scorpion (Urodacus planimanus)Jason Melide

August 9, 2021 LOVE this product! It’s my second from this store as the first one was just what I needed for small spiders. Excellent craftsmanship, super easy to use and clean and lockable to prevent the kids accidentally releasing pets into the house! Can’t go wrong.

November 22, 2021 - A VERY beautiful species and definitely large for a stumpy/square profile Aussie jumper.
While hunting, it moves almost like a robot with slow cautious steps but when in range, a super fast takedowns, awesome!
Plenty of room in the Bug Frenzy Tall Bug box kit.
Thanks again Bug Frenzy : )Giant bark jumping spider (Servaea incana)Sub/AdultsSaul Aldridge

Striped gibber jumper (Jotus sp. 'Woomera') captive bred juvenileGabrielle Hatch
November 20, 2022 💕✨Very friendly, best eater! We got to hangout and have encounters from the moment he arrived, he arrived in perfect condition with the date he last ate on the box itself and the box tells you everything you need to do to look after your jumper! Would definitely recommend to anyone, they are extremely fast.. so you need speedy hands to catch up- I named my little guy “ Switch” because he can never make up his mind about where he wants to explore.✨💕 Giant bark jumping spider (Servaea incana)Sub/AdultsTaylor Ann
