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!

Scorpion was packaged with care and arrived after only two days in transit thanks! 
Spider-hunting scorpion (Isometroides vescus) 'yellow' Northern mallee/mulga formRebekah Duffin
January 17, 2022 Love this little guy/gal already. Package was delayed by 4ish days, at no fault to BugFrenzy, but due to the expert packaging, my spider is still alive and happy. Only wish is that they included a printout with care instructions and maybe even some facts/info on the type of spider/insect it is. Maybe that could be something included in future orders. I think it would be cool to receive that especially for first time owners. But all in all can't wait for this guy/gal to grow. 
Red-headed jumping spider (Maratus griseus) 'Leopard form'Claire Goffey
November 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.
Australian tarantula (Phlogius Cape Gloucester) Large JuvenilesGrant Gao
December 2, 2022 Arrived in Vic fast and safe. Healthy lil guy (or girl!), been eating fine, wasn't long before I could see webbing around the burrow entrance! Great little enclosure to start off with. I prefer live plants to plastic ones, so added some washed moss, and later some leaf litter and springtails. Plastic plants are still fine for now to give some vertically.
And most importantly, fantastic support from the staff with all my "new to tarantulas" questions!!
