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!

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 
The Centinel² - Centipede KitZack Mikellides
September 30, 2021 Bug frenzy were awesome with this order - they discussed with me the scorpions requirements and pros/cons against other scorpion species as well as being knowledgeable about habitats and how to best care for my new friend.
The little guy arrived quickly, well packaged so that he wouldn't be harmed in transit. His health and size are amazing.

The Cube - Custom Acrylic EnclosureAnonymous
November 8, 2021 A very solid little enclosure! Arrived to rural NSW pretty fast and was well packed in a solid little cardboard box so no damage. If anyone needs to know - it's sent already built, not as a flatpack. I like that the locking mechanism on the side requires you to click/snap it into place. The hinges are tight without being restrictive, but give you full control - i.e. the door won't come flying open on its own which is fantastic. The joins are also really clean! I've seen similar enclosures that are messily glued together. Thank you, Bug Frenzy! 
The Mini Bug Box - Custom Acrylic EnclosureJenna Thompson
June 23, 2022 Very sassy and large! I got a male originally but he didn't survive the travel and bug frenzy was very quick to replace him for me with a very sassy and defensive female that's in amazing shape
