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!

Love my little guy. We put him straight into his enclosure when he got here and he settled in straight away. He loves to watch people and definitely is an active guy, very friendly fell. Love Mr George to bits.

Highly recommend!
Red-headed hopper (Maratus griseus) regular formBryar Ford
September 24, 2021 Love how big this guy is, eats well and has webbed up his enclosure all ready 😄 
Pygmy Rainforest tarantula (Coremiocnemis tropix) SlingsRachael Loram
October 24, 2021 A lot of care was taken in the packaging and shipping of the T and it arrived relatively hassle free, despite a slight delay with AusPost.
Despite the journey it went through the T was remarkably calm and went straight into the hide of its new enclosure after a gentle nudge.
The T had dug further into and webbed up the entrance of its hide. It even had its legs hanging out and took a cricket, all in the same day as unboxing and rehousing.
Suffice to say, very satisfied with a super chill and healthy Juvie T.

Jovial jumping spider (Apricia jovialis) juviesAnne-Maree Reardon
April 29, 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!
