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!

Perfect enclosure! I thought it was going to be too small or a temporary home as the size is fairly small but it’s actually the perfect size! I have enough room to deck it out for her & it’s honestly all the room she needs! She’s made a silk home inside & seems to really like her little set up. I will be buying a bulk load of these size enclosures for all my others!

Amazing creature with real personality.
Loves chilling on top of his enclosure.
