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 8, 2021 - 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 Arrived safely, alert and very curious, took a little while to get it in to its enclosure as it didn't want to leave the container. Only it would be awesome if a little pamphlet about the spider came with it. 
Giant bark jumping spider (Servaea incana)Sub/AdultsHayley Saffy
August 9, 2021 Gorgeous little peacock spider!
Everything was packed perfectly, and even a gel pack was included in the packaging to make sure he arrived safely.
He is quick, but also very tame, and is not afraid to jump on and spend some time with you.
Nothing is better than watching him wave his little legs around while exploring!
Thank you so much again bug frenzy, definitely my favourite seller, and highly recommend!
Lettered Peacock Spider (Maratus literatus)Chak Cheung
October 27, 2020 My spider came healthy and quite active. Packaging was very well done, protected etc. Only thing I would fix up is that some of the descriptions don’t tell you if the spider is juvenile or not. I was expecting my spider to arrive as an adult although I had no issue with receiving a juvenile. Other than that my spider is gorgeous, arrived safely 🙏🏽🤙🏽.

September 23, 2021 My little guy arrived today. He arrived so quickly and was well hydrated and was very lively! Ate a cricket after being in his new enclosure for a while. He’s extremely cheeky, loves hiding in the seals of the enclosure. He really loves the log provided for him, provides a good place to hide. We love him already!

Black Sand Scorpion (Urodacus novaehollandiae WA)Jason A.
August 9, 2021 I am so very happy with my purchase from BugFrenzy! From answering my 100 questions, packing my baby securely, her arriving safely, everything was perfection! Shipping took 1 business day. Shipped on Monday, arrived Tuesday (I’m in Qld).
My enclosure for her is great & she loves it. I absolutely adore my garden jumper! She’s super friendly, loves to come out everyday & have a play with me. She eats super well & is everything I ever dreamed of! She adapted to her new home & enclosure super well & I’m forever grateful for my new friend! She is the pet I’ve always needed in my life!
I will most certainly buy more from Bug Frenzy again!
