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!

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!

July 2, 2022 My son loves the jumping spider. His name is Aragog and he has settled in well. He has built a large hammock and decorated with cricket skulls.

Had quite a few scratches on the side but still had great integrity 🙂 Substrate and bark that came with the kit we’re also great

Very good communication. It was not an advanced sling/small juvie, though, it was a sling.

July 25, 2021 So happy 👌👌 my phlogius arrived in perfect health and is doing great.
I highly recommend Bug Frenzy to anyone.
Thank you so much guys. ❤
Australian Rainforest Tarantula (Phlogius sp. Pseudocrassipes) Advanced slingsAmber Drager
July 30, 2022 Super happy about the sling and the size of the enclosure. Sling came looking super healthy and ate immediately. Whithin the first couple hours It started making its own burrow which was super cute to watch. 
Exquisite Feather-legged Tarantula (Selenotypus sp. 5 'exquisita') slingsChloe Johnson
January 14, 2022 - A slightly scarier species than some with BIG fangs and a bright yellow/orange underbelly but such a happy and calm boy, females are very calm also : )
Both male and female seem to like super thick a sometimes multiple nests high in the enclosure but they do it in record time, amazing nest makers!
Great starter species!
Prince Jumping spider (Opisthoncus nigrofemoratus) MaleSaul Aldridge
November 2, 2022 Cute little family. They even produced offsprings twice in two months. My enclosure is now burst with these tiny trilobites.

March 8, 2022 unfortunately the spiders died before shipping but the lovely lady was fantastic and sent me some others. 
Giant flat jumping spider (Ocrisiona sp. 1)Todd Miles
September 29, 2021 - The tiny Striped peacock arrived safe but he's not happy in any enclosure other than a tiny 10cm x 7cm x 5cm clear soap container, one half substrate and the other half nothing, the only place he'll eats his flys, so strange!
Very fast and skittish species probably due to its size and fast metabolism, doesn't really like being handled but too small anyway, very slowly getting used to his new home.
To be expected from some species.
Thanks Bug Frenzy!
Striped peacock spider (Jotus sp. 1)
October 15, 2022 Great value and a really nice size for a tarantula sling or advanced sling. I'm glad i ordered the kit with the fake plants. They look great in the enclosure!

November 5, 2022 Very happy with this little cutie 🥰 
Slater-eating spider (Dysdera crocata)Sarina Sturgess
August 29, 2022 - Perfect enclosure! I thought it was going to be too small or a temporary home as the size is fairly small but it’s actually the perfect size! I have enough room to deck it out for her & it’s honestly all the room she needs! She’s made a silk home inside & seems to really like her little set up. I will be buying a bulk load of these size enclosures for all my others! Mini Clear View Enclosure
