Ā Why keep insects as pets?
āWhy would anyone keep insects or even pet spiders?ā 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!

October 24, 2021 Once again the staff from Bug Frenzy failed to LET ME DOWN. Packaged well and arrived very healthy. Adapted to her new home wonderfully. (Named her Eusi (yu-see)). Will be purchasing from Bug Frenzy in the future and would recommend anyone thinking of purchasing from here to do so with complete confidence. 
Black Rock Scorpion (Urodacus manicatus) Orange NSW formRichard Page
July 24, 2021 One of the calmest but most inquisitive jumpers I've seen and he loves the warmth of my hand, literally lays on his belly and taps away : )
Amazing creature with real personality.
Loves chilling on top of his enclosure.
Thanks Bug Frenzy!

Black Wishbone Spider (Aname sp. 16)Joshua Bowker

While hunting, it moves almost like a robot with slow cautious steps but when in range, a super fast takedowns, awesome!
Plenty of room in the Bug Frenzy Tall Bug box kit.
Thanks again Bug Frenzy : )

Blue-tailed Desert Centipede (Scolopendra morsitans Laverton WA locale) juvenilesJohn
September 26, 2021 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! The Mini Bug Box - Custom Acrylic EnclosureJenna Thompson
