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.

No problem with ordering and purchasing, the stick insects arrived within 24 hours ,well packaged and in very good condition. Nice touch with the +1 insect, will be dealing with this company again in the future and would recommend them to anyone. Thank you
I purchased some leaf insects from Tom and I couldn’t recommend purchasing from him enough! I am new to leaf insects and he was very informative and answered any questions I had. He helped me ensure I had the right enclosure set up and let me know what species was best for me. I received them today and put them in their new home, they were packaged well and I even got an extra friend! A big thank you to Tom, I’m very happy with my new leaf insect friends!
bought some leaf insects off of tom and he was so helpful with everything and very thorough with his texts which is always great!! Not only did the leaf insects come well packaged and safe i got an extra one for free! Tom is super lovely and i will definitely buy from him again! 100% recommend
Bought a few leaf insects from Tom, great communication, only sent them out once it was warm enough. Arrived well packaged and safe. No issues at all, wouldn't hesitate to use again.
Communication was fantastic and very helpful.
The insects we received were healthy and are still doing great! This company is caring for their animals and will make sure they are delivered appropriately (temperature and weather dependent) to make sure they get the best start in their new home. I would definitely recommend and will definitely be using this company again.
Great communication throughout the process and very helpful advice about delivery. The leaf insects arrived safely, well packed, and in excellent health. I was also pleasantly surprised to receive an extra leaf insect, which was a lovely bonus. All are active, feeding well, and have already settled in. Would definitely recommend (and have recommended to my friends) and wouldn’t hesitate to purchase from Tom again.
Fantastic communication from start to finish. Great updates with timing and tracking, I appreciated the fact the seller held the postage until warmer weather also. A very professional service, great value and fantastic unpacking experience. Will definitely shop again and recommend to anyone else! Thank you so much ♥️
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.
Excellent correspondence. Prompt despatch. Lovely, healthy Cryptophyllium limogesi nymphs (leaf insects) which arrived safely with heat pack. Would definitely use again - excellent customer service.
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!
Firstly a massive thank you to Tom! I’ve had a fab experience from start to finish!
Great communication and easy to talk to! Beautiful, healthy stick and leaf insects! I couldn’t be happier!
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 :)
Great seller, with a great selection of exotic bugs. I found the experience very pleasant and great communication and very healthy bugs at a very fair price. Highly recommend xoticbugs ❤️
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.
Great experience with xoticbugs! Fast delivery and the nymphs arrived in good health. Would definitely recommend!
