Live Fruit Fly Cultures

Live fruit fly cultures are a must-have for feeding small reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates. These tiny insects are easy to digest and full of protein, making them ideal for hatchlings or pets with delicate appetites. Each culture arrives ready to produce flies for several weeks, so you'll have a steady supply on hand. Common types of live fruit fly cultures:

  • Drosophila melanogaster: Wingless flies that are easier to contain
  • Drosophila hydei: Slightly larger for pets that prefer a bigger bite
  • Self-sustaining cultures: Keep producing flies over time
  • Pre-fed colonies: Ready to yield flies shortly after arrival
  • Compact containers: Designed for minimal mess and easy use

Live fruit flies offer a safe and consistent feeding option that supports growth, activity, and hunting behavior. They're simple to care for and can help round out a varied, nutrient-rich diet.
