    Super Cute & Intelligent Creatures

    Posted by Jade MB on 29th Mar 2022

    Really cute little guys, fed on me just fine the first night. Although for whatever reason, I don't believe they were sold to me as juveniles as the website said, as they were quite larger than I expected. Nevertheless, they're very well behaved and adventurous creatures. Very pleased to have a pet like these guys.

    Best Leech Ever

    Posted by Terris on 11th May 2021

    Got my leech, he arrived in perfect condition. Named him Strahd. He immediately latched onto the palm of my hand before i could move him into his tank, so he was super hungry...which is a good thing... I very much welcome and celebrate my new leech overlord! ALL HAIL!

    Tiger Leech

    Fascinating little animal. Very easy to look after. They're a lot more active than what you would think, it's very interesting to watch them move about their enclosure. And feeding them is easy.

    Posted by Justin Cowman on 28th Mar 2018

    Fast postage along with a very informative website made purchasing my leeches a breeze. The leeches arrived safe and sound packed in a fashion that allowed them to be extra safe even on the bumpiest of postal rides. I had trouble finding leeches online so I am very greatful to Minibeast Wildlife. Thanks guys.
