Ā Why keep insects as pets?
āWhy would anyone keep insects or even pet spiders?ā 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!

May 7, 2022 - As in the description, this spider is very much calm. She can hop onto my hand and I'm not really worried about her bolting away (always just have to be careful with them). I'm happy she arrived safely and looks like she was fed very well! Absolutely adore her!
Golden-Faced jumper (Sondra aurea) - Great beginner speciesRoxanne Niveri
June 2, 2022 Cute little jumper with some crazy fast nest building skills!
The male I purchased at the same time is exactly the same, web everywhere in no time and I mean properly structured nests!
But both are very calm and inquisitive jumpers and not worried about being calmly handled š
Thanks Bug Frenzy!

December 18, 2021 It's a good simple cup to keep your small bugs in temporarily. I use it when I have to clean up the bigger terrariums. But keep in mind that screw lid may not be suitable for insects who like to stay on top. (Mantis, jumping spider, etc)
