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!

Australian giant centipede (Ethmostimgus rubripes)Alex Golding
October 22, 2022 Love this chunky lil one! Arrived happy and healthy, a really nice size too and lovely colour. Bit shy at first but overnight had started a tunnel and was keen for a feed the next day. Really glad I added this one to the household!

Giant bark jumping spider (Servaea incana) captive-bred juvenilesMichalina Mazur
February 7, 2022 Great little enclosure - little bit small and will order the next size up when I’m stock 
Mini Clear View EnclosureKeryn Rauner
September 23, 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.

November 1, 2021 Good little encloser but i think he wants to make a little home in the top right corner so i may have to change it around so i dont ruin his webs. Other than that its a really good encloser 😁

Pantropical Tuxedo Jumper Juvie (Menemerus bivittatus)Tina A.
May 4, 2022 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!

March 16, 2022 I love this little guy - I have named him Eucalyptus (not sure if he’s a he or she!) A very inquisitive spider and always comes out of his web to say hello to me. It’s fascinating watching him catch crickets and he has a glorious big booty after he finishes his meal!
He’s furry, cute and very entertaining, I want ten of him! Arrived safely, active and healthy. Highly recommended!Giant bark jumping spider (Servaea incana)Sub/AdultsMarilyn Sant
