Arthropod Care
How to take care of your bugs at home
What kind of friend do you have?
Different arthropods require different enclosures and care. Select your animal from the options below. If an animal is not included on here but you wish it was, let us know. Have more questions? Send us an email and we will help you out as best as we can.
Keep in mind that most species of arthropods are not legal to keep as pets in Canada.
All stick insects, most praying mantises, and many more species are restricted by the Canadian Plant Protection Act.
These are general care tips for most species within each category. Please do your own research in addition to reading our advice. Within a species, individuals can also have different preferences. Observe your new friend carefully to learn in what conditions they thrive. If you have any questions, please send us an email!
