 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!

Beautiful little spider, had burrow built overnight and feeding the next day. Very fast and aggressive when first moved into new enclosure. Likes to sit outside entrance to burrow. 👀👌 
Black Wishbone Spider (Aname sp. 16)Joshua Bowker
March 16, 2022 Great value for money, perfect size for my jumping spiders. Recommend 
Flightless Fruit Flies (Drosophila melanogaster) CultureJean Asnicar
November 21, 2022 Came packaged very well, looks healthy and had a feed with no problems 🙂 
Exquisite Feather-legged Tarantula (Selenotypus sp. 5 'exquisita') slingsEmily Blanch
December 7, 2021 Perfect size for even larger centipedes but it does come a little shallow on substrate which is perfectly fine for centipedes who don't burrow much like my scolopendra morsitans who like to hang on top a lot but is a bit of a problem for my ethmostigmus rubripes who likes to spend a lot of time under the substrate so in such cases I can recommend picking up a little extra substrate with it 
The Centinel² - Centipede KitZack Mikellides
September 30, 2021 Great packaging. My little one is very active and quick. Seems really chill with hands already and hasn't refused food. 10/10 would recommend. 
Giant bark jumping spider (Servaea incana) captive-bred juvenilesMaddison Hardie
May 5, 2022 - The cutest little spider ever, he arrived alert and active.
Lettered Peacock Spider (Maratus literatus)Vanja J.
August 8, 2022 Way bigger than I expected and unfortunately I cannot see any red on mine, but nontheless beautiful animal. Very active, immediately hunted down a cricket. Loves to climb around the enclosure. 🕷️ 
Red-Thighed Wolf Spider (Undescribed genus) juviesMichalina Mazur
June 12, 2022 This little one is absolutely adorable. So active and fun but can’t go past that face. 
Pretty rockhopper (Undescribed Euophyrinae, more than likely Saitis sp.) MaleTegan Sutherland
September 12, 2022 Great care taken in postage and very will to answer emails about spiders care, well-being and habits 
Australian Rainforest Tarantula (Phlogius sp. Kuranda) Advanced slingsBeven & Robert Davenport
July 25, 2021 On the listing it states between 50-100 springtails included, I think I got at least 1000!
They are thriving, excellent!
Thanks Bug Frenzy.
Springtail KitSaul Aldridge
October 23, 2022 - Ordered two little bugs and they arrived quicker than the enclosure I bought a week before hopefully they are happy in their new home just in time for Christmas!
Violet-winged stick insect (Didymuria violescens) nymphsRebecca Farrugia
December 18, 2021
Good little enclosures with all the extras you need. Will buy again. 
Mini Clear View EnclosureRachael Loram
October 24, 2021 Arrived very alert and very speedy. Smaller than I expected but at least I can watch him/her grow. The kit is basic with a enclosure, substrate and fake plant. No hide or even small piece of bark for them to hide under so will have to find something to put in there. Otherwise very happy with my new spider friend. 
Pantropical Tuxedo Jumper Juvie (Menemerus bivittatus)Megan Jones
February 9, 2022 A well designed, quality enclosure. Ordered with the beach boy kit which looks really great! The bag the sand came in had ripped though, which had put sand all over everything in the package and was a bit messy with unpacking. Aside from that I’m extremely happy and would definitely buy again. 
The Mini Bug Box - Custom Acrylic EnclosureAnonymous
May 7, 2022 This guy is super cool… happy and healthy when it arrived, seems to be happy with its new home, hopefully we can keep it that way!! 
Giant Burrowing Cockroach (Macropanesthia rhinoceros) juvenilesWayne Ireland
November 6, 2022 - Excited for a species I’ve never kept before. All specimens arrived WELL packed.
Mottled Desert Huntsman (Isopedella cerussata)Lisa Donovan
July 2, 2022 Arrived safely and very well packaged. He is so cute and immediately started exploring his enclosure as soon as he was released. Looks to be in perfect health and is a great size. What a lovely creature!! Thank you 🙂 
Flinders ranges scorpion (Urodacus elongatus) Adult M or F/BabiesRuby Black
June 29, 2022 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.
Spiny Leaf Insect (Extatosoma tiaratum) nymphsVelycia
November 29, 2022 Great little enclosure for a smaller spider.
