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!

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!

The Mini Bug Box - Custom Acrylic EnclosureMichalina Mazur
February 7, 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 🙂

August 23, 2022 Cute little jumper with some crazy fast nest building skills!
The male I purchased at the same time is exactly the same, web everywhere in no time and I mean properly structured nests!
But both are very calm and inquisitive jumpers and not worried about being calmly handled 🙂
Thanks Bug Frenzy!
