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!

Giant mallee centipede (Scolopendra morsitans) SA mallee form adultsMaddison Hardie
November 26, 2020 Great cleaning leftover foods from other critters. Very easy to care for and can multiply colonies. Highly recommended to have them in many specie tanks setup to make less cleaning or remove uneaten foods.

Egyptian beetles (Blaps polychresta) with Optional Kitjacob meredith-elali
March 8, 2022 - 💕✨Very friendly, best eater! We got to hangout and have encounters from the moment he arrived, he arrived in perfect condition with the date he last ate on the box itself and the box tells you everything you need to do to look after your jumper! Would definitely recommend to anyone, they are extremely fast.. so you need speedy hands to catch up- I named my little guy “ Switch” because he can never make up his mind about where he wants to explore.✨💕
