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!

Arrived well packaged, and the bug frenzy team have been really helpful. The little dude is alive and well, he just moulted and is starting to grow the missing leg back as well! 
Giant bark jumping spider (Servaea incana) Missing two legsJosie Golledge
September 23, 2021 As in the description, this spider is very much calm. She can hop onto my hand and I'm not really worried about her bolting away (always just have to be careful with them). I'm happy she arrived safely and looks like she was fed very well! Absolutely adore her! 
Golden-Faced jumper (Sondra aurea) - Great beginner speciesRoxanne Niveri
June 2, 2022 My little guy arrived today. He arrived so quickly and was well hydrated and was very lively! Ate a cricket after being in his new enclosure for a while. He’s extremely cheeky, loves hiding in the seals of the enclosure. He really loves the log provided for him, provides a good place to hide. We love him already!

October 28, 2020 My son loves the jumping spider. His name is Aragog and he has settled in well. He has built a large hammock and decorated with cricket skulls. Giant bark jumping spider (Servaea incana)Sub/AdultsStephanie
January 17, 2022 - Scorpions turned up beautiful packaged as always. And as I said to my partner, the description doesn’t lie, these mallee wood scorpions are truly awesome to watch when eating, such aggressive take downs!
Definitely will buy a couple more!

July 23, 2022 Huge and beautiful! I got a female in good shape that's so big it scares me a little and she's very pretty 
Union-jack wolf spider (Tasmanicosa leuckartii)Zack Mikellides
January 20, 2021 She’s an exciting one who’s kinda scared of her shadow. Warmed up to her home very well.

Spider-hunting scorpion (Isometroides vescus) 'yellow' Northern mallee/mulga formIan Wong
January 16, 2022 Received my Predatory Ground Beetles safe and sound! Excellent packing inside and clear instructions for couriers to take care! The bugs are extremely active and ate yesterday, they are also extremely active and love to climb.. highly recommend these critters 
Predatory ground beetle (Carabidae)Joshua Ison
November 20, 2020 Great addition to your plain old substrate!
Helps structural webbing for burrowing T's and definitely helps keep moisture levels high when needed.
I have also added a little to my semi arid jumper enclosures (dry 80-90% of the year) it seems to have really encouraged them to make sleeping sacks under the sand and between rocks, FANTASTIC : )
100g VermiculiteSaul Aldridge
November 1, 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.✨💕 Giant bark jumping spider (Servaea incana)Sub/AdultsTaylor Ann
August 20, 2021 Super cute, healthy and of course, FAST!
