Always love shopping with Addz
Always love shopping with Addz, so kind and helpful and very generous, purchase some glacier cubaris recently for an unbelievable price and I swear there was more than I bought in there. 10/10 services
Superb store for isopods and plants etc
Superb seller, excellent communication, with held postage during warmer temps we recently had but let me know and I appreciate that kind of care for animals.
Purchased a 25 quid isopod mystery box and along with everything else got 6 cubaris jupiter...just incredible
2nd to None!
This is my 3rd big purchase from MicroExotics. The stock they provide is 2nd to none! The customer service is fantastic! My Custodians are thriving, as are my plants and I will be returning soon, for another big purchase. 😊🌿🪲
This was my first time owing any…
This was my first time owing any isopods, but the seller was very understanding and accommodating with my requests around delivery scheduling. Really well packed items and of course isopods with a heating pad. Would definitely recommend and come back if I need anything else!
Micro exotics
Dilivery well packed post came late but order was still fresh easy to order from and you cam call for information my 2nd order will use again
Brilliant
I ordered 3 different species of isopod and they all arrived safe. The packaging was perfect, they were all in secure containers in a box with a heat pack. I ordered on the weekend and received my package on Tuesday. I also ordered some wood and rocks for my terrariums and they were exactly as advertised. They have a really great range of species and the website is easy to navigate and well organised. I’m very happy with the service, would definitely order again!
Highly Recommend
Highly Recommend! Shopped a few times now at MicroExotics & I’m always so happy with the service and care taken. Lovely healthy Isopods never had any issues. No doubt I’ll be making another purchase in the future.
Excellent service and bugs
Excellent service. The critters and plants arrived so very carefully packed. The little critters are perfect and were happily scurrying and eating almost immediately - or wiggled off to hide, just as healthy little bugs do. Really please and very happy to recommend Microexotics to anyone
Blown away!
As a first time purchaser I was blown away by the service. All isopods arrived perfectly, within 24 hours of dispatch and 72 hours of purchasing (I purchased on a Saturday night) with a heatpack and fantastic packaging. I found a stowaway with one of the tubs I ordered and the owner of the business got back to me within minutes to identify the little guy, he is now a bonus addition to my mixed colony. Honestly cannot reccomend this company enough for your isopod needs. 5 stars! I will definitely be a repeat customer :)
A great seller of isopods and supplies
I've ordered from Microexotics a couple of times now and I've been super happy every time .
I find they pack any live invertebrates well , in sturdy boxes with plenty of packing and suitable tubs of layered organic matter with plenty of ventilation.
The Invertebrates themselves have seemed active and healthy even after being thrown through the postal system.
I have recently purchased a few mystery boxes as I couldn't decide what I wanted and I have been so pleased with the selection received. I got some great species and a few useful bits for them . Great value if you can't decide what you like .
Also the price point across the shop is generally very competitive with other similar sellers .
The owner is friendly if you do need to contact them and happy to give advice .
Their site, packing , communication and customer service when needed is a step above some other more hobbyist type seller sites and I will be returning at some point for more isopods !
Always a positive experience
Always a positive experience when I order Isopods and supplies from Microexotics. The owner has always sent an email if there is to be a delay in delivery due to cold weather conditions. When posted, my orders always arrives quickly with lively pods. Thank you!
I ordered mistery box
I ordered mistery box - plants were labeled and very well packed. Very important for myself as a beginer.
Great service!
Another great order from Adam at Microexotics! The quality of his products is excellent and all his animals arrive very healthy. I would struggle to find anywhere else who offers such a fantastic service and I highly recommend ordering from Microexotics!
Great products, great service, 10/10!
Bought from Adam at Micro Exotics a couple of times (a variety of isopods and plants), and can't recommend enough! Everything was in tip-top condition upon arrival, and Adam very generously packed in some extras as well. Adam clearly puts a lot of care into the business, is very professional and responsive, and the selection and availability of products are really great. I'll be returning regularly :)
Adam and his team at micro exotics are…
Adam and his team at micro exotics are top notch. The Isopods are always healthy and they have such a fantastic range of pods and other inverts. In my last order they gifted me 10 extra magic potion Isopods and that is so generous and kind. I'd highly recommend microexotics for all of your Isopod needs. Best in the UK for sure!
