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!

A VERY beautiful species and definitely large for a stumpy/square profile Aussie jumper.
While hunting, it moves almost like a robot with slow cautious steps but when in range, a super fast takedowns, awesome!
Plenty of room in the Bug Frenzy Tall Bug box kit.
Thanks again Bug Frenzy : )

Very easy care and the beginner kit came with everything I would need and more. Good price for a great kit. The unboxing video was also very helpful. Thank you.

Margaret river centipede (Cormocephalus michaelseni) captive bred pedelingsPaul McMaster
October 20, 2022 Very sassy and large! I got a male originally but he didn't survive the travel and bug frenzy was very quick to replace him for me with a very sassy and defensive female that's in amazing shape 
Union-Jack wolf spider (Tasmanicosa gilberta)Zack Mikellides
January 20, 2021 A bit small but it is great size for a little spider/baby spider. Bought it with my baby wolf spider and he is loving it. I would however recommend buying extra substrate (~500g) from these guys to have a good amount of substrate and to have extra just in case. Otherwise it is so cute and I love it. Very easy to observe the spider with it and I like the latch 🙂

February 6, 2022 The only issue with the pinhead crickets I ordered was that I should have gotten more. Packed and priced unbelievably well and best of all my spider is fat and happy. 
Feeder CricketsCatherine Kennedy-Hone
July 20, 2021 Glen - the formerly unnamed centipede was bought for my bug loving 15 year old. Glen arrived safe and sound, had his habitat box included so was easy to set up. He then had fun roaming around it, munched on a cricket we supplied, then hid under the provided bark.
Love buying from Bug Frenzy, very happy with purchases and support. Would highly recommend to others.

July 17, 2022 I've ordered two of these guys and the differences in them is awesome, the 1st is lighter than the 2nd. Both have already molted and are chowing down on their crickets. Amazing to watch hunting.
