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!

February 7, 2022 Absolutely LOVE her! She came super healthy and full of energy. She began eating immediately and is always jumping about. Put her in a 30×21×21 enclosure to give her tonnes of room and she loves running around. 
Red-headed hopper (Maratus griseus) regular formChloe Johnson
January 14, 2022 Best spider purchase I've made in a long time, haven't kept a jumper in over a year and wanted back in. He is amazing very active and curious, easily way to waste time just watching this little dude

October 16, 2022 Bug Frenzy were incredibly responsive to my emails and were fantastic to deal with. My son is in awe of his new mantis and couldn’t be happier. 
Purple-Winged Mantis (Tenodera australasiae) captive-bred nymphsTina

January 16, 2022 I purchased two of these gorgeous little guys and they are super active and cute to watch. 
Green-Tailed Peacock Spider (Maratus pavonis, Perth WA form) MaleRenay D'Amico
October 23, 2022 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.
Australian tarantula (Phlogius Cape Gloucester) Large JuvenilesGrant Gao
December 2, 2022 My spider came healthy and quite active. Packaging was very well done, protected etc. Only thing I would fix up is that some of the descriptions don’t tell you if the spider is juvenile or not. I was expecting my spider to arrive as an adult although I had no issue with receiving a juvenile. Other than that my spider is gorgeous, arrived safely 🙏🏽🤙🏽. 
Long-legged jumping spider (Opisthoncus sp.) maleJaya Wilson
April 25, 2022 Really beautiful active girl. As pretty as the picture and so interesting to watch. Travel container was perfect to keep her hydrated and safe! Giant bark jumping spider (Servaea incana)Sub/AdultsPeta Spatari
November 22, 2021 It arrived safe and well in excellent condition. It shed within 24 hours and is very active Purple-Winged Mantis (Tenodera australasiae) captive-bred nymphsAnonymous
October 26, 2021 - I received my Isopedella Saundersi 2 days after shipping day and arrived healthy and well protected. It is doing well in its new enclosure. Thank you Bug Frenzy, it is so cute.
Gold-spotted huntsman (Isopedella saundersi) captive-bred juvenilesClaudia Faist
August 9, 2022 My little Peanut arrived fast and safe – he was very inquisitive and almost immediately started building his web in the top of the enclosure. He didn't eat for a couple weeks probably due to the stress of moving and maybe old age but he seems to be doing fine now after gobbling up 4 crickets yesterday.

August 12, 2021 Spiders were alert and active upon arrival. Giant bark jumping spider (Servaea incana)Sub/AdultsDamian Swales

Strawberry Trapdoor Spider (Cataxia babindaensis) juvenileChris Hall
December 1, 2021 Insects delivered quickly and in good health. Very happy, thank you! 🙂 
Titan stick insect (Acrophylla titan)Mark
October 1, 2021 Good little encloser but i think he wants to make a little home in the top right corner so i may have to change it around so i dont ruin his webs. Other than that its a really good encloser 😁
