I was away from home for a few days and when I returned I checked on the culture and it had exploded into life! The fruit flies are smaller than I expected, but plentiful in number and they must be tasty judging from my pet's reaction. If this culture survives for at least a couple of weeks I will be very pleased with this purchase. ## Frequently Bought Together - Livefoods4u Live Flightless Fruit Flies – Live Food for Reptiles, Amphibians, and Invertebrates (Fruit Fly Culture - may not have hatched flies at first) - Livefoods4u Medium Small House Brown Crickets Live Food (6-8mm) - Live food Perfect for Reptiles and Lizards - Sustainably bred (Approx 175 Tub) | Livefood - Livefoods4u Mini House Brown Crickets Live Food (3-4mm) - Perfect for Reptiles and Lizards - Sustainably bred --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/527121400-live-flightless-fruit-flies-culture-reptile-and-frog-food-flightless](https://www.desertcart.us/products/527121400-live-flightless-fruit-flies-culture-reptile-and-frog-food-flightless) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-07-16*
