We love bugs!
Bug Frenzy is a family business based in South Australia. All our invertebrates are either captive bred, or sustainably and ethically sourced. We love bugs and want to encourage that love in others, to educate and ensure that these wonderful creatures will be here for generations to come. We stock a range of insects – from Scorpions to Stick Insects, Pet Spiders and Roaches and everything inbetween!
We have Australia’s largest selection of invertebrates!

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!

I purchased before I made my scorpion purchase as I needed to see how it would be & get it all set up before they arrived 😁
Happy customer and no doubt will be making many future purchases!Customisable General Scorpion KitRebecca H.
November 28, 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!

November 8, 2021 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 🙂
Thanks Bug Frenzy!
