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!

Spiny Leaf Insect (Extatosoma tiaratum) nymphsElysa Hazzard
September 21, 2022 Just got my Idiosoma Trapdoor spider today. The package was very well packed even put a bag of cool gel to keep her chill while in transit. Thought she was dead as she buried herself upside down with all her legs curled up. So I dropped 2 lived crickets in the container, but she caught and and ate them all! She looks very healthy. Highly recommended and will order more species from Bug Frenzy again soon.
