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!

October 29, 2022 Super super cute! Very well packaged as usual and super active as well. Took food in the first couple hours and adjusted very well to the "beach boi enclosure" which was the perfect size. Beautiful colouring and super happy with the temperament and previous care of the spider 
Salt lake wolf spider (Teteralycosa eyrei)Chloe Johnson
January 20, 2022 It drowned in its tiny drinking bowl 🙁
BUT, believe it or not, after 10-15mins of VERY gently bouncing it on paper towel (maybe 2cm high max) I saw its head move then a leg, OMG I saved it! : )
Took a night to get back to 100% but it's doing well now.
WOW Thanks Bug Frenzy!

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.
