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!

Lovely packaging! Couldn't fault these guys. Awesome to talk to if anything is wrong or if you have general questions 
Substrate - Choose from 3!Ashlee Davies
November 5, 2022 Great size to not be imposing in enclosure but still big enough to add some character. 
Mini SkullSarra Furse
December 4, 2021 very healthy arrived on time mi a very happy customer 
Rainforest Centipede (Ethmostigmus rubripes Cairns green form) adultsluke winter
September 29, 2021 Arrived very alert and very speedy. Smaller than I expected but at least I can watch him/her grow. The kit is basic with a enclosure, substrate and fake plant. No hide or even small piece of bark for them to hide under so will have to find something to put in there. Otherwise very happy with my new spider friend. 
Pantropical Tuxedo Jumper Juvie (Menemerus bivittatus)Megan Jones
February 9, 2022 One of the calmest but most inquisitive jumpers I've seen and he loves the warmth of my hand, literally lays on his belly and taps away : )
Amazing creature with real personality.
Loves chilling on top of his enclosure.
Thanks Bug Frenzy!

Honey wolf spider (Hoggicosa brenanni)Zack Mikellides
March 26, 2021 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.
