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!

Not too keen on being handled at first but give them a minute or 2 and they are fine.
Thanks Bug Frenzy 🙂

September 21, 2022 I love this little guy - I have named him Eucalyptus (not sure if he’s a he or she!) A very inquisitive spider and always comes out of his web to say hello to me. It’s fascinating watching him catch crickets and he has a glorious big booty after he finishes his meal!
He’s furry, cute and very entertaining, I want ten of him! Arrived safely, active and healthy. Highly recommended!

Lots of crickets! Most seem a bit big for my spider and he wont go near them. Feeder CricketsScott Membry
July 27, 2021 A very solid little enclosure! Arrived to rural NSW pretty fast and was well packed in a solid little cardboard box so no damage. If anyone needs to know - it's sent already built, not as a flatpack. I like that the locking mechanism on the side requires you to click/snap it into place. The hinges are tight without being restrictive, but give you full control - i.e. the door won't come flying open on its own which is fantastic. The joins are also really clean! I've seen similar enclosures that are messily glued together. Thank you, Bug Frenzy! 
The Mini Bug Box - Custom Acrylic EnclosureJenna Thompson
June 23, 2022 A very convenient little kit, literally as easy as 1,2,3. The colony has already multiplied overnight as I can see many tiny little springtails jumping all about along with a considerable amount of adult ones 🙂
