Both the hatched flies, and the culture comes with everything needed, although more fruit can be added to the culture once all hatched to prolong the shelf life. Keep at room temperature.

What does the culture come with?

The culture of flightless fruit flies contains eggs, larvae and pupa. The culture will continue to produce new flies for several weeks and should be kept at normal room temperature. There may or may not be ready hatched flies.

What species of fly are Livefoods4u Live Fruit Flies?

We offer two species. Drosophila hydei are the larger of the two, and Drosophila melanogaster (Golden Fruit Flies) are the smaller species.

What nutrition do they provide?

Drosophila fruit flies are an excellent source of easily digestible protein. They also contain essential amino acids, and vitamins and minerals such as vitamin A, vitamin D, and vitamin E, as well as calcium, iron, and zinc.

Which species of fly is best for me?

If you keep very small species, such as Ranitomeya or Mantella frogs, or hatchling Mourning Geckos and spiderlings, then the Golden Fruit Flies may be best. Our normal fruit flies are suited to slightly larger species of Poison frog or Day gecko.

Live on arrival, dead the next day

Bought the live (hatched) flies - not culture. Dozens of live flies on day of arrival, kept at room temperature, all dead a day later. For £8, my spiderling got 1 fly meal. Will now have to source more flies ASAP...

Too expensive

Desperate to get some flies so had to buy these. Yes they looked healthy in a good size pot, but there weren't many in there so still had to buy a culture. If like me you have to pay for these to tyed you over.

Fruit flies were well packed (in along with crickets) arrived safe and well and all were living. My praying mantis enjoyed a nice treat! I would definitely recommend Livefoods4u!

Hatched Fruit Flies

Quick delivery and plenty of fruit flies. I bought these for my ant colonies and they love them. If you don't want to handle them live just stick the container in the freezer for a few hours. The ants like them either way.

Not value for money

Expensive for the amount of flies you get half of them were dead i have ordered a culture from elsewhere before for a similar price and there were hundreds in the tub and different stages of life , you will be lucky to get 2 or 3 feeds out of it

Perfect, just what I needed

Feels strange buying flies but I just couldn't find any for my praying mantis. These flies arrived quickly and stay live in their special box. Easy to feed to mantis as they don't fly around.
