Very positive experience

Very positive experience. I ordered 3 Phyllium letiranti nymphs from their advert of Pets 4 Homes, and Tom was a extremely helpful in outlining the logistics of delivery, and providing information regarding how they would be packed. When the package arrived I was pleasantly surprised to see that not only was there a 4th leaf insect included, but also some eggs! Tom has gone above an beyond to make my experience of buying the insects positive, and I would encourage anyone thinking of getting insects to check out their website.

Absolute 5* service!

I approached Tom to buy some stick insect eggs, and the whole process was fantastic from the start. Excellent communication, lots of advice offered even after the transaction had ended, and he even threw in some free eggs from another species i was interested in! Wonderful service for someone just returning to the hobby after several decades away :)

Top tier service and pods

Love this one because it’s easy to write.Tom at Xoticbugs is just solid. Simple as that.Comms are always bang on. Quick replies, straight answers, no fluff. But more than that it never feels transactional. It feels like chatting to someone who actually enjoys the hobby and wants you to do well with what you’re keeping.He’s helped me out loads with advice over time. Temps, species thoughts, general chat about pods. It’s probably the closest thing to friendship you’ll get from a business in this hobby. Proper supportive, no ego, just good vibes.Stock quality has always been spot on. Healthy, clean, well established cultures. My Yellow Ghost and Haasi High Yellow from him are still two of my favourites in the room. Strong, bright, and just consistently doing well.If you want good pods and someone who actually backs what they sell, Tom’s a safe pair of hands.Highly recommend.

Seller has a fascinating collection of phasmids

Seller gave some very detailed answers to my questions and I’m very happy with what I purchased. I will definitely be buying more uncommon phasmids from this seller when they become available!

Business Details

  • Hi, I’m Tom — the founder of Xoticbugs and a lifelong invertebrate enthusiast. Invertebrates are some of the most diverse and fascinating animals on the planet, and Xoticbugs was created as a way to share that passion while helping others discover the enjoyment of keeping them.

    Xoticbugs primarily offers captive-bred isopods and leaf insects, with occasional availability of stick insects, other invertebrates, and selected dry goods. Stock is released periodically throughout the year and consists mainly of surplus specimens from my own private collection, giving others the opportunity to care for and enjoy these incredible animals. Alongside this, the site features detailed care sheets and articles to support responsible and informed keeping.

    All invertebrates sold through Xoticbugs are captive-bred in the UK and are guaranteed to be healthy, well-established, and feeding prior to sale. If a wild-caught specimen is ever offered, this will always be clearly stated in the product listing. Care, transparency, and animal welfare are central to everything I do.

    My background is in Biological Sciences, with a particular interest in genetics, and I now focus my collection on rare and personally fascinating species. I welcome genuine feedback and appreciate everyone who supports Xoticbugs.See more
