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!

March 26, 2022 I am so very happy with my purchase from BugFrenzy! From answering my 100 questions, packing my baby securely, her arriving safely, everything was perfection! Shipping took 1 business day. Shipped on Monday, arrived Tuesday (I’m in Qld).
My enclosure for her is great & she loves it. I absolutely adore my garden jumper! She’s super friendly, loves to come out everyday & have a play with me. She eats super well & is everything I ever dreamed of! She adapted to her new home & enclosure super well & I’m forever grateful for my new friend! She is the pet I’ve always needed in my life!
I will most certainly buy more from Bug Frenzy again!
