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!

Love the spider-hunting scorpion. Arrived in great shape. Fast delivery. Packed with great care. 
Spider-hunting scorpion (Isometroides vescus) 'yellow' Northern mallee/mulga formIan Wong
January 16, 2022 My sweet little Bivi arrived super fast, healthy and happy. Set up her home and within minutes she was hunting some pin head crickets. Had made her hammock within a couple of days. She is awesome! I suspect this could become adictive!! 
Pantropical Tuxedo Jumper (Menemerus bivittatus)Bianca Shepherd
March 7, 2022 Awesome little Strenuus slings. Arrived fast and extremely well packed. These guys have to be my favourite aussie Tarantula

November 11, 2020 Happy with it. Came with everything and seems to be good quality. Haven't used it yet as the spider isn't big enough to move in.

May 11, 2022 Due to the juvie molting, I had it replaced with an adult and she's the cutest angry lady! I didn't even plan to have this species before but now it's my very favourite jumper and a must have!

Lion peacock spider female (maratus leo)Dylan
November 26, 2022 - The tiny Striped peacock arrived safe but he's not happy in any enclosure other than a tiny 10cm x 7cm x 5cm clear soap container, one half substrate and the other half nothing, the only place he'll eats his flys, so strange!
Very fast and skittish species probably due to its size and fast metabolism, doesn't really like being handled but too small anyway, very slowly getting used to his new home.
To be expected from some species.
Thanks Bug Frenzy!
Striped peacock spider (Jotus sp. 1)Saul Aldridge
October 15, 2022 Great addition to your plain old substrate!
Helps structural webbing for burrowing T's and definitely helps keep moisture levels high when needed.
I have also added a little to my semi arid jumper enclosures (dry 80-90% of the year) it seems to have really encouraged them to make sleeping sacks under the sand and between rocks, FANTASTIC : )

November 1, 2022 Very active and defensive as be warned. Absolutely beautiful with red and black colours. Great size. Not as big as my adult Tarantulas, but still massive. Highly recommended Bug Frenzy 😁
