Description
The Frogfather V2 Self-Dusting Fruit Fly Feeder is a hands-free feeding and supplementing system designed for dart frogs, tree frogs, and other micro-insect feeders. Built on keeper feedback and real-world use, Version 2 improves reliability, flow control, and dusting consistency — keeping your frogs fed, dusted, and healthy even when you’re not around.
✅ Not Just for Holidays — Use It Daily
Unlike basic holiday feeders, the V2 system is engineered for everyday use. Place it inside or at the back of the vivarium and leave it running until the fruit fly culture is exhausted. Frogs cannot access the culture, larvae remain safely inside producing more flies, and the only flies that exit are fully pre-dusted adult flies.
🛠 How It Works
- Fits a standard 32oz fruit fly deli cup.
- Add your live fruit fly culture as normal.
- Fill the integrated dust chamber with supplement powder (e.g.
Frogfather All-In-1 Vitamin & Mineral Dust
). - Adult flies exit the culture via an improved internal supplement maze.
- Every exiting fly is lightly coated in vitamins and minerals.
- Only dusted adult flies enter the vivarium — larvae remain inside to continue the culture.
- Precision micro-holes are water-resistant, so misting will not wet or clog the powder.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use this every day, not just for holidays?
Yes. The V2 system is designed for continuous daily use as well as holidays. Leave it running until the culture is exhausted.
Do I need to use Frogfather supplements?
No — any calcium or vitamin powder works. For best results, we recommend
Frogfather All-In-1 Supplement

Will misting make the supplement go soggy?
No. The dust chamber is water-resistant and the micro-holes prevent moisture ingress via surface tension.
Can frogs climb in and drown?
No. The V2 design prevents frogs from entering or accessing the culture.
Do larvae escape as well?
No. Only wingless, dusted adult flies can exit. Larvae remain inside and continue producing more flies.
What size culture cup does it fit?
It fits standard 32oz fruit fly deli cups with ventilation lids.
