Description

Our Drosophila hydei fruit flies for frogs are larger, slower-moving, and ideal for adult dart frogs and stronger feeders. Cultures are supplied in three life stages, so you can match your purchase to your feeding needs.

All cultures are prepared fresh and shipped the same day when ordered before 2pm (Monday–Friday).

Life stages available:

• New Culture – Freshly started culture with eggs and early larvae. Best for long-term planning and maintaining a steady supply.

• Intermediate Culture – Developing culture with larvae, pupae, and early adult emergence. Ideal for most keepers.

• Mature Culture  – Fully producing culture with  adult flies. This option is feeder ready on arrival and perfect if you’re running low.

Hydei fruit flies are larger than melanogaster and are well suited to:

  • Adult dart frogs

  • Ameerega species

  • Larger froglets transitioning from melanogaster

faq

Do you ship fruit flies the same day?
Yes. Orders placed before 2pm (Monday–Friday) are shipped the same working day.

Which life stage should I choose?
New cultures last the longest, intermediate cultures are the best all-round choice, and mature cultures are feeder ready on arrival.

What’s the difference between melanogaster and hydei?
Melanogaster are smaller and more active, ideal for froglets and smaller frogs. Hydei are larger and slower, better for adult frogs.

How long does a culture last?
This depends on temperature and harvesting, but new cultures last the longest while mature cultures provide immediate feeding.
