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!

November 14, 2022 in love with them, i even got sent an extra one. they arrived perfectly packed and i’m so excited to breed these guys! thank you! 
Egyptian beetles (Blaps polychresta) with Optional KitKiannah Hardy
July 12, 2022 My sweet little Bivi arrived super fast, healthy and happy. Set up her home and within minutes she was hunting some pin head crickets. Had made her hammock within a couple of days. She is awesome! I suspect this could become adictive!! 
Pantropical Tuxedo Jumper (Menemerus bivittatus)Bianca Shepherd
March 7, 2022 So cute! Arrived healthy and eats well (and very tiny!!). He/she is very curious and has lots of personality even though they are still very tiny. Spider is sooo pretty. If you are thinking about it, do it 🙂 
Murray River wolf spider (Venator sp. nov) Captive Bred JuvenilesKat McDonald
August 23, 2022 Very well packaged and looking healthy 
Black Rock Scorpion (Urodacus manicatus) SA FormDaniel Mead

Vertical Kit - Mini Bug Box Custom Acrylic Enclosurekristie gillin
April 2, 2022 - Really happy, fast delivery. Safely and securely packed, healthy centipede recieved.
Thankyou.
Australian giant centipede (Ethmostimgus rubripes)Alex Golding
October 22, 2022 My little Peanut arrived fast and safe – he was very inquisitive and almost immediately started building his web in the top of the enclosure. He didn't eat for a couple weeks probably due to the stress of moving and maybe old age but he seems to be doing fine now after gobbling up 4 crickets yesterday. 
Giant bark jumping spider (Servaea incana)Sub/AdultsShari Marrett
August 12, 2021 He is really active and uses his whole enclosure. He is really good to watch 
Golden-Faced jumper (Sondra aurea) - Great beginner species
April 10, 2022 One of my favourites! 
Spotted Tree-Funnelweb (Bymainella terrareginae)Elysa Hazzard
September 21, 2022 Really beautiful active girl. As pretty as the picture and so interesting to watch. Travel container was perfect to keep her hydrated and safe! Giant bark jumping spider (Servaea incana)Sub/AdultsPeta Spatari
November 22, 2021 The enclosure is such high quality and the price is really good as I've seen some of competing quality for a much higher price. I also love that you can add on a starter kit for the enclosure so as a new keeper, such as myself, you have everything you need to set you up for success. 
The Mini Bug Box - Custom Acrylic EnclosureClaire Goffey
November 24, 2021 - I've had my Bruce for about a week now and the guy is a great eater. Any cricket I put in his enclosure is in his mouth within seconds. He is also very extroverted and rarely out of site. Thanks for the great spider, Bug Frenzy!
Union-Jack wolf spider (Tasmanicosa gilberta)Madeleine Wallace
January 30, 2022 Fast shipping, brilliant communication. 
Groom Jumping spider (Opisthoncus sp.1) Malelaine dickson
July 30, 2022 Thank you Bug Frenzy team for the diligent way of wrapping everything for delivery and most importantly the safety of little “Princess”. I highly recommend anyone wanting a jumping spider (or anything else) from this business, as they are great to deal with and, are helpful should you have any queries. I have found (as an adult) fascinating to watch my little “friend”, and these are an inexpensive pet to keep after the initial small outlay. The would help teach children responsibility, as well as an appreciation regarding the food chain/web of life, nature as well as life cycles. I wish Bug Frenzy had existed when my children were children!
Jumping spiders aren’t scary like other larger spiders can be to some, as they are fairly small; they have loads of character; and, besides tiny crickets, they can eat flies & mosquitoes - bonus!!
Thank you Bug Frenzy!
Princess Jumping spider (Opisthoncus nigrofemoratus) FemaleSuzie L.
July 22, 2021 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 Happy with it. Came with everything and seems to be good quality. Haven't used it yet as the spider isn't big enough to move in. 
Beach Boi Kit - Mini Bug Box Custom Acrylic EnclosureAsh Dalton
May 11, 2022 - Super cute, healthy and of course, FAST!
Little tarantula (Mituliodon tarantulinus) Large Captive-bred juvenilesChloe Johnson
April 9, 2022 Very happy with my purchase 
Spider-hunting scorpion (Isometroides sp. 2) Roxby Downs Localitytrevor k.
September 29, 2021 A bit small but it is great size for a little spider/baby spider. Bought it with my baby wolf spider and he is loving it. I would however recommend buying extra substrate (~500g) from these guys to have a good amount of substrate and to have extra just in case. Otherwise it is so cute and I love it. Very easy to observe the spider with it and I like the latch 🙂 
Horizontal Kit - Mini Bug Box Custom Acrylic Enclosure
August 23, 2022 She’s an exciting one who’s kinda scared of her shadow. Warmed up to her home very well. 
Yellow Sand Scorpion (Lychas 'buchari' Roxby Downs locale) JuviesJason Melide
