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!

Very personal transactions full of information and a few good laughs. Ruby is fantastic to work with, to interact with. My baby Scorpions are well and happy. Cheers Anthony.

The Strawberry Trapdoor Spider is extremely defensive and I love it 
Strawberry Trapdoor Spider (Cataxia babindaensis) juvenileChris Hall
December 1, 2021 Perfect size for even larger centipedes but it does come a little shallow on substrate which is perfectly fine for centipedes who don't burrow much like my scolopendra morsitans who like to hang on top a lot but is a bit of a problem for my ethmostigmus rubripes who likes to spend a lot of time under the substrate so in such cases I can recommend picking up a little extra substrate with it

September 30, 2021 Just had delivery of my new Urodacus Armatus, Arrived in very good condition, well packed and seems very curious of his/her new home. (decided to introduce Doe to the new home first before I find out if its a John or Jane... lol)
Am extremely happy with my purchase, will be buying more from Bug Frenzy, cheers guys.

Salt Lake Scorpion (Australobuthus xerolimniorum)Crystal Mula
July 23, 2022 My jumper loves the bigger enclosure a lot more active 
The Mini Bug Box - Custom Acrylic EnclosureBrett Eakins
March 7, 2022 I didn't expect this jumper to be smaller than the small peacock species, can't actually see his eyes they are so small!
Choosing food is difficult as the fruit flys are as big as him and he is scared of any crickets.
But he is calm and friendly, rather easy to handle.
Thanks Bug Frenzy 🙂
Pretty rockhopper (Undescribed Euophyrinae, more than likely Saitis sp.) MaleSaul Aldridge
October 23, 2022 Little fellow arrived quickly, safely, and full of energy! As always the BugFrenzy team answered all questions and gave good advice before purchasing.

November 23, 2021 Arrived very quickly. Much bigger than I expected for a juvie. Very lively. Super happy thank you 
Red-headed jumping spider leopard form (Maratus griseus) captive-bred juvenilesLetisha Bassett
October 16, 2022 A slightly scarier species than some with BIG fangs and a bright yellow/orange underbelly but such a happy and calm boy, females are very calm also : )
Both male and female seem to like super thick a sometimes multiple nests high in the enclosure but they do it in record time, amazing nest makers!
Great starter species!
Prince Jumping spider (Opisthoncus nigrofemoratus) Male
November 2, 2022 Arrived safely and very well packaged. He is so cute and immediately started exploring his enclosure as soon as he was released. Looks to be in perfect health and is a great size. What a lovely creature!! Thank you 🙂 
Flinders ranges scorpion (Urodacus elongatus) Adult M or F/BabiesRuby Black
June 29, 2022 Very happy with my purchase 
Spider-hunting scorpion (Isometroides sp. 2) Roxby Downs Localitytrevor k.
September 29, 2021 - Healthy, ate within hours of arriving. A bit smaller than I expected
Gold-spotted huntsman (Isopedella saundersi) captive-bred juvenilesAnonymous
May 28, 2022 Cute little family. They even produced offsprings twice in two months. My enclosure is now burst with these tiny trilobites. 
Trilobite Roaches (Laxta sp.)Chin Thai Ong
February 7, 2022 A lot of care was taken in the packaging and shipping of the T and it arrived relatively hassle free, despite a slight delay with AusPost.
Despite the journey it went through the T was remarkably calm and went straight into the hide of its new enclosure after a gentle nudge.
The T had dug further into and webbed up the entrance of its hide. It even had its legs hanging out and took a cricket, all in the same day as unboxing and rehousing.
Suffice to say, very satisfied with a super chill and healthy Juvie T.
Australian tarantula (Phlogius Cape Gloucester) Large JuvenilesGrant Gao
December 2, 2022 Does exactly what it's designed to do and it's long slim design is great for even the smallest of enclosures!
Thanks Bug Frenzy : )
