    Couldn't recommend more

    Posted by Jennifer on 7th Mar 2024

    "Fiona" was a birthday present for my son. Australia Post (even express posted) took a few days longer than expected especially as we're remote WA but she was very well packed and, other than being a bit thirsty, she was in good health. Minibeasts were very quick to respond to emails and assist with the WA entry permit requirements, you can tell they care about the bugs they send out. Felt prepared to keep her when she came, the care sheet provided was thorough and very helpful. My son's interest has now become a family obsession, not sure what we should get next!

    I m very thrilled with my leafy ‘s. The three arrived safely and quickly and considering I live remote I was a bit worried about time in post. But they are great. Thank you I will definitely be getting more .

    Happy with my purchase

    Posted by Emily Clark on 7th Nov 2023

    I bought 2 leaf insects for my classroom after our previous ones had died of old age. The students were overjoyed to discover that one of the two was a pale albino coloured insect, that was identical to their much loved one that died earlier this year. Both (smores and rusty) are still going strong in a new enclosure and the class are over the moon with their new class buddies. I am curious to know what leaves the bugs were sent to me with as they seemed to enjoy that more than the eucalyptus leaves I’ve been providing them.
