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!

Leia is settling in nicely, absolutely gorgeous little girl. 10/10 highly recommend 
Princess Jumping spider (Opisthoncus nigrofemoratus) FemaleJean Asnicar
November 16, 2022 Very curious little one it’s settling in quite well though. I can’t wait to see what it looks like when it’s older. I’ve basically made it my little baby 
Striped gibber jumper (Jotus sp. 'Woomera') captive bred juvenileGabrielle Hatch
November 20, 2022 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!
