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!

Vertical Kit - Mini Bug Box Custom Acrylic EnclosureMarc Fenton
October 17, 2022 This is my first time buying from Bug Frenzy and getting a Wolfie. He's so active, small and inquisitive. I've only had him for a day, but I love him already! He and the crickets all came well packaged too. Excellent job Bug Frenzy, I look forward to purchasing from you again. š

May 5, 2022 I've had my little guy for about a week, he is super cute! He does a funny little side to side shimmy before he pounces on his prey. So happy with him.

Highly recommend!

It's a good simple cup to keep your small bugs in temporarily. I use it when I have to clean up the bigger terrariums. But keep in mind that screw lid may not be suitable for insects who like to stay on top. (Mantis, jumping spider, etc)

Giant flat jumping spider (Ocrisiona sp. 1)Todd Miles
September 29, 2021 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.

Pebble-mimicking jumping spider (Undescribed Saitis sp1) FemaleStephanie Hodge
September 12, 2021 Beautiful little sling. It was larger than I expected so that was a bonus šš
Overnight it had webbed up a little burrow amongst a bit of sphagnum moss in its new enclosure. When it was happy and settled I fed it 3 pinheads and it smashed them all in a matter of minutes. Very happy with my new little tarantula.
