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!

July 17, 2022 Received my sling today (12/01/21) and couldn’t be happier! The sling looks great and healthy. I was so impressed with the packaging, so professional and nothing left to chance. Really happy with the kit and so glad I added it to the order. I literally had it the next day from posting and will most certainly be purchasing from this site again... Thank you!

July 30, 2022 Hugh quality and perfect size for most inverts. Love the fact that it can be turned on its side for more ground dwelling inverts. The Mini Bug Box - Custom Acrylic EnclosureChloe Johnson
February 6, 2022 - A slightly scarier species than some with BIG fangs and a bright yellow/orange underbelly but such a happy and calm boy, females are very calm also : )
Both male and female seem to like super thick a sometimes multiple nests high in the enclosure but they do it in record time, amazing nest makers!
Great starter species!
