Automatic Self-Dusting Fruit Fly Feeder for Dart Frogs – Why I Designed It & How It Works

Introducing the Frogfather Self-Dusting Fruit Fly Feeder 🐸✨

I finally built the feeder I always wanted — one that feeds your dart frogs AND dusts the flies for you. No shaking, no powders going soggy, no “can you feed my frogs while I’m away?” panic.

Flies hatch inside the culture → climb up → walk through the vitamin maze → come out fully dusted and ready to be eaten.
Automatic feeding + automatic supplementing.
Not just for holidays — this can stay in your viv full-time until the culture is empty.

🔹 Works with any fruit fly culture (melanogaster or hydei)
🔹 Dust stays dry in misting systems
🔹 Frogs can’t get into the culture
🔹 Use with my All-in-1 supplement for full nutrition
