Bug Lab is an Australian small business specialising in springtails, isopods and supplies for bioactive enclosures.
We’re fascinated by the small creatures that work behind the scenes in healthy ecosystems. Springtails and isopods help break down organic matter, recycle nutrients and support balanced environments – and we want to make these often-overlooked animals easier to understand and appreciate.
What We Do
We breed and supply live springtails and isopods, along with substrates, food and practical products for establishing and maintaining bioactive enclosures.
Our range is suited to reptile and amphibian keepers, invertebrate enthusiasts, hobbyists and anyone interested in building a more natural ecosystem.
We also provide straightforward care information to help customers choose suitable species and keep their colonies thriving.
Inspiring Curiosity
Bug Lab is about more than selling bioactive supplies.
We want to encourage children, families and curious adults to explore the hidden world beneath leaves, logs and soil. These small creatures provide an engaging way to learn about decomposition, life cycles, habitats and the role every organism plays in nature.
As Bug Lab grows, we’ll continue developing educational products and resources that make learning about invertebrates practical, interesting and fun.
Carefully Prepared in Australia
Bug Lab is independently owned and operated in Victoria.
Our live animals are bred and prepared with care, and we’re always available to provide practical support when customers need help.
Whether you’re starting your first bioactive enclosure, expanding a collection or introducing a child to the world of bugs, we’re here to help.
