Is there a shop in the UK that sells a variety of insects? I would like to start collecting exotic beetles etc

Answer 1

oh ya for sure.. I just dont know where, because I am in Canada.. I know the sale of pet bugs is WAY more common in the UK than it is here, and wish you luck..

usually you will also see ads for people selling them in reptile or exotic pet magazines.

I have stick insects. people here are not into pet bugs as much as over there.. I am having a hard time spreading awareness of keeping bugs as pets..

Here is a link about care

I posted pictures of my pets (below) on DIGG, and people thought I was nuts for having them as pets...

feel free to share any of my links if you like them.

good luck finding your bugs.

There are quite a few in the UK.  It depends where you live, have a look at http://www.bugsuk.com/.  They have great info on caring for insects, and also have a directory of petshops stocking them.
