Testimonials

Sarah Johnson

I’ve tried a dozen online insect suppliers, and nothing compares to The Bugg Plug. Their fruit fly cultures arrived thriving, not half-dead like the others I’ve bought. I’m now feeding my dart frogs, mantises, and slings exclusively with their feeders. Total game changer.

Michael Thompson

My tarantula arrived fast, well-packed, and in perfect health. What really impressed me was the handwritten card with feeding tips—it’s the little things that show this isn’t just a business, it’s a passion project.

Emily Rodriguez

I ordered a Crested Gecko from The Bugg Plug’s Fire Project line and WOW. The coloration, the head structure, even the temperament—it’s clear these animals are bred with intention. Can’t wait to grab another one!

David Wilson

Every mantis I’ve received has been strong, well-fed, and active right out of the cup. I’ve bought Orchid, Ghost, and Shield mantises—and they’re all thriving. The Bugg Plug is my go-to from now on.

Jessica Martinez

As a first-time jumper keeper, I had no idea where to start. The Bugg Plug’s deluxe kit and support made it so easy. My little guy is thriving and molted just last week. Couldn’t be happier!
