I recently bought two Indian stick insects, which are doing really well. Exotic Pets offer a prompt service with excellent care taken to ensure livestock is securely packaged. Their website has lots of information on the care of exotic pets and are happy to answer queries on the care of exotics. I would definitely recommend them, and will purchase again.

Happy African land snail

Excellent communication and updates when my order was delayed due to bad weather. My African land snail arrived yesterday well packaged and still warm from heat pack. The snail is very healthy from the care it has received from exotic pets. Thank you very much

Cork bark delight.

Ordered a piece of cork bark for my 'Orchidarium'. What I received was an amazing piece of natural art, which will help make my 'orchidarium' look stunning. Thank you 'Exotic Pets'.
Very happy indeed. 👍😃P. S. When I add said bark, I will forward pics. 👍

Amazing people, knowledge & customer service …

Amazing people with a true love for all the animals! Their knowledge is fantastic and I cannot thank them all enough. I visited after recently getting my first jumping spider who wasn’t eating they provided all the tips and tricks to and variety of foods to try and today he has successfully taken down his first meal worm! I cannot thank them enough for all their support and for sharing their knowledge with me :) This was my third visit and each time the customer service is phenomenal! See you again soon!

Insects arrived dead

Sent me dead insects and didn't apologise for this
Undersold me 25 dubia roaches. I bought 60 I received 35.

Claimed I wasn't in. But didn't turn up to my house. I was in the courier didn't turn up just sent me an email and I had to collect it Tuesday because they were not open over the bank holiday. Shipped it a day late should have been shipped on Thursday but it was shipped on Friday. Wouldn't buy from these again only reason for 2 stars is because they closed my account with any hassle whatsoever. But when pointing out with evidence on social media block your account. Take accountability for the actions. Don't ship out dead insects. Or at least if tell your customers if there is a new batch. I'd have rather waited over the bank holiday for some fresh ones than to send out dead ones.

Reply from Exotic Pets

Thank you for leaving us a review.

Firstly, as we attempted to inform you on the phone, these were perfectly healthy when we sent them, they were fresh in that morning.

All standard livefood deliveries can take 1-2 working days after ordering as stated on our order pages. These will be ordered into stock specially for you and then dispatched at the first opportunity; this is to ensure they are as fresh as possible prior to you receiving them. Depending what time your order was placed, it can sometimes miss the cut off for ordering and we will add it to the next delivery to us.

We guarantee live arrival if they are received the following day - We cannot be held responsible if you miss the delivery and your insects are held until you rebook the delivery. If you insist that you were in then your issue is with Royal Mail not us. We would politely suggest that you take accountability for this as you are misdirecting your anger over this issue towards us.

Best regards
Gemma

Fantastic supplier of all things exotic

Absolutely impressed with our baby bci, he came well packaged and protected, has clearly been well cared for and handled appropriately, and the service, communications and delivery were excellent, will definitely be using exotic pets as our new supplier of all things reptile.
