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!

Unfortunately my little peacock spider didn't survive the trip,....although he was well packed & had everything needed for the trip.
Bug Frenzy were great to deal with under the circumstances. 10/10 for customer service & definitely highly recommended.
I will be purchasing through them again!!

Happy customer and no doubt will be making many future purchases!

March 8, 2022 - These little guys arrived safe & sound & very well packaged. Bug Frenzy are great to deal with & would highly recommend to anyone! Giant bark jumping spider (Servaea incana)Sub/Adults
November 21, 2022 My little Peanut arrived fast and safe – he was very inquisitive and almost immediately started building his web in the top of the enclosure. He didn't eat for a couple weeks probably due to the stress of moving and maybe old age but he seems to be doing fine now after gobbling up 4 crickets yesterday.

August 12, 2021 My little Lilith arrived safe and jumping around, she's finally having her first feed today and I noticed she has a demon skill on her booty 🥰 Red-headed jumping spider leopard form (Maratus griseus) captive-bred juveniles
April 13, 2022 A bit small but it is great size for a little spider/baby spider. Bought it with my baby wolf spider and he is loving it. I would however recommend buying extra substrate (~500g) from these guys to have a good amount of substrate and to have extra just in case. Otherwise it is so cute and I love it. Very easy to observe the spider with it and I like the latch 🙂

I ordered a spider and a starting kit. I received my Lion Peacock Jumping Spider and kit a week ago. The shipping and packaging process was immaculate. I did expect some extra information within the box to let me know when my spider last ate but one quick email to Bug Frenzy and I had an answer.
I did have to modify the terrarium slightly as my jumper really wanted to make a hammock on the seal. I hope that in the future Bug Frenzy will have a terrarium available that opens from the middle so that the spider and their hammocks are less disturbed. I really love the little knick-knacks they sell for the terrarium they currently have on offer. My spider really loves them too. Looking forward to ordering again from Bug Frenzy.
