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!

One of the calmest but most inquisitive jumpers I've seen and he loves the warmth of my hand, literally lays on his belly and taps away : )
Amazing creature with real personality.
Loves chilling on top of his enclosure.
Thanks Bug Frenzy!

May 22, 2022 - Great little sleeping pod for jumpers, maybe a little pricy with postage but with a multiple item order it's not to bad.
I have a serious cocoon building jumper and I'm sure he will love this.
Think I need a few more, lol
Thanks Bug Frenzy : )
Jumping Spider Sleeping Pod
November 21, 2022 Arrived safe and well, very curious and extremely fast. Hasn't wanted to eat yet seems intimidated by prey hopefully will start eating for me has been making a hammock and exploring already 
Giant bark jumping spider (Servaea incana)Sub/AdultsAbbie Egan
January 21, 2022 Great addition to your plain old substrate!
Helps structural webbing for burrowing T's and definitely helps keep moisture levels high when needed.
I have also added a little to my semi arid jumper enclosures (dry 80-90% of the year) it seems to have really encouraged them to make sleeping sacks under the sand and between rocks, FANTASTIC : )

Slater-eating spider (Dysdera crocata)Sarina Sturgess
August 29, 2022 Great cleaning leftover foods from other critters. Very easy to care for and can multiply colonies. Highly recommended to have them in many specie tanks setup to make less cleaning or remove uneaten foods.
