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!

Came in good condition and well packaged as always. The pedeling is missing a terminal leg, however, with the next moult it will grow back so no biggie. I’ve had it for two days now and it hasn’t eaten, perhaps indicating it’s in a pre-moult. It appears to be a heavy burrowing species and it stays hidden away most of the day.. yet to see it at night when it is primarily active

Pygmy Rainforest tarantula (Coremiocnemis tropix) SlingsRachael Loram
October 24, 2021 This is my first time to have these spiny leaf insects, I ordered male and female. They arrived in 3 days using express post, kind of worried but they survived. I thought they are all females because the orange one looks like female, sent email to bugfrenzy and got the answer. No it's male actually. Communication was good! Will buy from bugfrenzy again.
It's been 6 days, the insects are happy and healthy in their new home.
