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!

November 8, 2021 Due to the juvie molting, I had it replaced with an adult and she's the cutest angry lady! I didn't even plan to have this species before but now it's my very favourite jumper and a must have! 
Angry-faced jumping spider (Clynotis severus) captive-bred juvenilesMichalina Mazur
February 7, 2022 LOVE this product! It’s my second from this store as the first one was just what I needed for small spiders. Excellent craftsmanship, super easy to use and clean and lockable to prevent the kids accidentally releasing pets into the house! Can’t go wrong. The Cube - Custom Acrylic EnclosurePeta Spatari

Clearance: Goliath stick insect (Eurycnema goliath) nymphs
July 17, 2022 Very good sized spider and great pricing! Great customer service 🙂 Mine started to make a web a few hours after I put it in its home! Very interesting to watch Pantropical Tuxedo Jumper (Menemerus bivittatus)Talia Holmes
August 11, 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 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.
