Flightless Fruit Fly Cultures - The Perfect Feeder

Introduction
Flightless Fruit Flies, often known as Drosophila hydei or Drosophila melanogaster, are the number one feeder insect for many small animals. If you keep poison frogs, small geckos, mantises, or spiders, you know how important a reliable food source is.

Why Flightless?
The best thing about these cultures is right in the name - they cannot fly! Normal fruit flies can be annoying, but these special flightless varieties only walk or jump. This means you can feed your pets without the risk of them escaping and buzzing around your house. They are clean, easy to manage, and completely safe.

Nutritional Value
Fruit flies are packed with protein and are the perfect size for small to medium sized invertebrates and reptiles. They move around actively, which triggers the hunting instinct in your pets. Watching your animals chase and eat the flies is great entertainment!

How to Keep Cultures
When you buy a fruit fly culture, it comes with food medium and hundreds of flies and eggs. Keep them at room temperature. They will keep producing new flies for weeks. It is good practice to start a new culture every couple of weeks so you never run out. They are very low maintenance.

** Hydei vs Melanogaster**
There are two main types. Melanogaster are smaller and faster. Hydei are slightly bigger and slower. Depending on what animal you are feeding, you can choose the size that fits best. Both are excellent quality feeders.
