Fruit flies are the gold standard of live food for small, insectivorous reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates. Unlike wild fruit flies, our flightless or wingless strains are genetically bred to be unable to fly, making them incredibly easy for your pets to catch and for you to manage without them escaping into your home.
They are a high-protein, nutrient-dense feeder, especially when "gut-loaded" or dusted with calcium powder. Available in two distinct species to suit different predator sizes.
Key Features and Benefits:
Flightless Strains: Genetically bred so they cannot fly; they simply crawl, making them easy targets.
Rapid Colonization: Our cultures arrive with a specialized "media" (food) that allows the flies to continue breeding for several weeks.
Essential for Hatchlings: The perfect size for dart frogs, baby geckos, spiderlings, and small chameleons.
Stimulates Foraging: Their fast, jerky movements trigger the natural hunting instincts of your pets.
Odor-Controlled Media: Our cultures use high-quality, mold-resistant media to keep the setup clean and smelling fresh.
