Description

Cultures that just work. We’ve run thousands of melanogaster and hydei cups for our frogs and projects, and we know how frustrating failed media can be. Fruit Fly Feast is the dependable, low-odour culture mix we settled on after years of testing. It mixes in minutes and produces steady, heavy yields with minimal fuss.

As part of our Microfauna Foods & Supplements category, Fruit Fly Feast removes guesswork and gives you repeatable results — whether you’re feeding a few frogs or running a full rack.

Why it’s a keeper favourite

  • High yield, low odour: consistent performance for both melanogaster and hydei.
  • Fast prep: simple mix with warm water; sets to the right consistency.
  • Reliable timelines: predictable hatch cycles make planning easy.
  • Scale up or down: perfect for hobbyists and breeders.
  • Resealable: 200 g & 500g pouches for straightforward storage.

How to use

Add warm water and stir to a thick porridge consistency. Pour 2–3 cm into cups, add a small pinch of yeast on top, insert excelsior/paper, and seed with adult flies. Maintain at appropriate room temps for best hatch rates.

Fruit Fly Feast — FAQs

Is this for both melanogaster and hydei?

Yes — we use it for both species with excellent consistency.

How thick should the mix be?

Think “thick porridge”. Too runny invites issues; too dry stalls production.

Do I still need to add yeast on top?

Yes. A light sprinkle on the surface helps kickstart the culture.

What size should I buy?

200 g is ideal for small batches; 500g suits continuous or larger runs.
