I’m trying to identify a sci-fi movie or TV series I saw at a video store many years ago. It may have been a TV movie and was part of a series or anthology. The specific installment I can remember was about a family of giant aliens, including a child alien who had a terrarium with humans kept as pets. It was on VHS before 2000 so it can’t be more recent than that. It was live action and in color.

Based on the subject matter and date, it's possible this is Josh Kirby: Time Warrior! Chap. 2: The Human Pets (1995) wherein the titular hero and his friends are captured by a giant baby-alien and kept as pets (until they escape, of course).
Encyclopedia.com gives the following blurb:
Josh and his friends now find themselves in the year 70,370—held hostage by the enormous Fatlings, who regard their human finds as pet-like action toys.

Yes, that is it! I just looked up the VHS cover and it is definitely the one.– Ryan CCommented Jun 7, 2022 at 4:38

So La Planete Sauvage is not what you are looking for, but do check it out as a possible source or inspiration for your film. Commented Aug 11, 2022 at 9:15
