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.
Very happy with Exotic-pets.co.uk

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!

Fantastic service

Great service
Great service, very professional and definitely won't sell to anyone they think is incapable or doesn't meet their standards which is refreshing.
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.
