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 thought I didn’t get it but I had accidentally thrown it out. What an amazing little container 😊 
Cricket Catcher and Bug HandlerSarina Sturgess
July 31, 2022 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

Tall Bug Box - with side doorLinda Street
May 22, 2022 A very solid little enclosure! Arrived to rural NSW pretty fast and was well packed in a solid little cardboard box so no damage. If anyone needs to know - it's sent already built, not as a flatpack. I like that the locking mechanism on the side requires you to click/snap it into place. The hinges are tight without being restrictive, but give you full control - i.e. the door won't come flying open on its own which is fantastic. The joins are also really clean! I've seen similar enclosures that are messily glued together. Thank you, Bug Frenzy!

Sadly, most of these were dead on arrival. Probably due to Australia Post delays I expect.

June 24, 2022 - I didn't expect this jumper to be smaller than the small peacock species, can't actually see his eyes they are so small!
Choosing food is difficult as the fruit flys are as big as him and he is scared of any crickets.
But he is calm and friendly, rather easy to handle.
Thanks Bug Frenzy 🙂
