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!

This wolfie came quick and safely. Was very impressed with the packaging and price, but most importantly the healthy wolf spider within. Can’t recommend bug frenzy enough 😎

May 4, 2022 Thank you for the safe arrival of our beautiful baby Social Huntsmans! They were a gift to my best friend and my daughter's Dad as I already have Huntsmans and Ts. They arrived very well packaged and had lots of space. We will definitely order from you guys again.
Tahli. 🙂

Komodo Nano Habitat (20x20x30cm)Christina Adam
August 24, 2021 Very active little jumper! Walked right into the enclosure! A little thing I was a little concerned about though, is that my little friend had lost 2 legs when he had arrived! I’m not sure if he lost them due to shipping or me but I don’t think it was me since I haven’t handled him yet. He’s lost the 2 back legs so I’m not sure if he can jump. I hope he grows them back! Other than the issues just stated, 5 stars!

November 8, 2021 - Thank you Bug Frenzy team for the diligent way of wrapping everything for delivery and most importantly the safety of little “Princess”. I highly recommend anyone wanting a jumping spider (or anything else) from this business, as they are great to deal with and, are helpful should you have any queries. I have found (as an adult) fascinating to watch my little “friend”, and these are an inexpensive pet to keep after the initial small outlay. The would help teach children responsibility, as well as an appreciation regarding the food chain/web of life, nature as well as life cycles. I wish Bug Frenzy had existed when my children were children!
Jumping spiders aren’t scary like other larger spiders can be to some, as they are fairly small; they have loads of character; and, besides tiny crickets, they can eat flies & mosquitoes - bonus!!
Thank you Bug Frenzy!
