These Flies are extremely prolific and make a great feeder for small and young reptiles. Cultured in a 32oz cup with our Super Swarm Media which contains an impressive mix of ingredients. The media contains vitamins, minerals, probiotics, proteins lipids and fatty acids, enzymes, carotenoids and bioflavonoids. Everything needed to make the culture produce a ton of healthy flies.
When you receive a fresh culture you should give at least 10-12 days for the flies to lay eggs in the media. If your cup already contains pupa and larva you may start to feed flies to your animals immediately.
Size: Hydei are larger sized fruit flies adults are near 4mm long.
Feeding: Fruit flies should be harvested in a separate plastic container and dusted with the proper calcium and multivitamins. Tap the plastic container to prevent the flies from climbing the plastic and escaping.
You can culture your own Fruit Flies at home with our Super Swarm Fruit Fly kits available in a variety of quantities for any size hobbyist.
