If you have purchased an invertebrate pet from Minibeast Wildlife, or from anywhere else, then it is best not to release your pet into the wild. The reasons behind this are varied, but there are issues with releasing a species that is not usually found in your area, which could cause problems for your local ecosystem. Even if the species you have is found in your area, if the animal has been bred in captivity, it may not have the same resistance to threats and diseases in the wild and may not survive long anyway. If you can’t keep your invertebrate pet anymore, the best option is to try to rehome it. You can ask friends or family, or even a local school or kindergarten. If you are stuck, then contact us here at Minibeast Wildlife, and we may be able to help you out.
