Slow-Release Holiday Feeder for Dart Frogs
Going away for a few days? You can finally relax knowing your dart frogs won’t go hungry. The Frogfather Slow-Release Holiday Feeder is a simple, effective device that fits securely onto a standard fruit fly culture tub to provide a steady, automatic supply of live food while you’re away.
How It Works
- Designed to fit standard Drosophila culture tubs with mesh ventilation.
- Available in two sizes for small (Melanogaster) and large (Hydei) fruit flies.
- The precision-vented lid keeps maggots in the media so they can continue to feed and pupate naturally.
- As adult flies hatch, they exit through the release port at a slow, controlled rate – just like daily feeding.
This clever drip-feed mechanism ensures your frogs receive a steady trickle of live prey over several days, keeping them active and nourished even when you’re not home.
Perfect for Short Holidays
Tested across multiple setups, the feeder can sustain dart frogs for 3–7 days depending on culture maturity and temperature. Simply attach it to a well-established fruit fly culture about 10–14 days old, position it over your vivarium’s mesh or feeding port, and let it do the work.

Why It’s a Game-Changer

Relax while your frogs stay fed.
