    spiny leaf insect

    Our nymph arrived safe and well. She shed her on the second day and now is happily munching her way through Eucalyptus leaves and practically growing in front of our eyes.

    Easy, friendly pets with a diffference

    Posted by Naomi on 7th Dec 2016

    Spiny leaf insects are a wonderful pet for any age. They are especially popular with the preschool children I teach. They are a wonderful introduction to insects/entomology and are surprisingly resilient to the noise and busyness of our classroom. They are easy to keep clean, feed and handle and they can't hurt the children at all. Parents are fascinated too. I've kept these insects before and had wonderful success with breeding too which gives the children a perfect experience in life cycles. (The moulting is amazing to watch) My minibeast widlife insects arrived in great condition and the feedback was very insightful and helpful when one of them died unexpectedly after a few weeks. Be especially aware of any pest spraying at the property in the last six months and don't forget not to use fly spray around them!

    Impressed By Customer Service

    Unfortunately she died a few days after we got her. I called them up and they're soon going to be shipping out a new little one. Looking forward to getting to receiving her and raise her.

    intriguing and easy pet

    Mini beast service on both occasions of our order was exemplary. Speedy, customer friendly and effective for safe transport of our Spiny insects. We're having a wonderful adventure nurturing our new pets to adulthood, although watch disguised spiders amongst your new leaf fodder which inadvertently made victim our first female. We're eagerly awaiting eggs at some stage
