Review: Large Fruit Flies Culture - They arrived the day after being ordered. Large fruit fly culture as stated many in various stages of development. The size, healthiness and quality of the flies are good Review: The best Fruit Flies - These flies are a real bargain. I advise you buy them a week before you ate going to need a new batch. You then simply place them somewhere with a constant room temperature and they hatch within a few days. They live a good few weeks as long as you keep them correctly. If like me you require a high number of these, you will find this culture really useful and good quality. ## Features - This is a culture, and will produce 4-5 yields of flies. - At 2-3mm, they are ideal for small species such as frogs, lizards and inverts (mantises) - Once you receive delivery of your new culture/s, all you have to do is place it somewhere at room temperature (22 Celsius). - Sit back and wait for the flies to pupate and emerge as adults. - The time period for the culture to develop, pupate and adults to emerge may vary dependant upon the developmental stage of the culture, as you receive it and the ambient temperature. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07TGKYH19 | | Age Range Description | All Life Stages | | Age range (description) | All Life Stages | | Animal Food Diet Type | Raw | | Animal Food Ingredient Claim | Organic | | Benefits | Nutritious, safe, organic, versatile, easy to use | | Best Sellers Rank | 49,264 in Pet Supplies ( See Top 100 in Pet Supplies ) 339 in Food & Treats for Reptiles | | Brand | The Mealworm Company LIVEFOODS DIRECT | | Brand Name | The Mealworm Company LIVEFOODS DIRECT | | Breed Recommendation | Large Breeds | | Container Type | Each | | Customer Reviews | 4.0 out of 5 stars 305 Reviews | | Dog Breed Size | Large | | Flavour | Culture | | Item Form | Live Foods | | Item form | Live Foods | | Manufacturer | The Mealworm Company LIVEFOODS DIRECT | | Manufacturer Part Number | FFL1TUB | | Number of Items | 1 | | Occasion | Everyday | | Pet Type | Amphibian, Bird, Reptile | | Recommended Uses For Product | pet_food, reptile_food, amphibian_food | | Special Features | Self-replenishing culture | | Special Ingredients | Orangic | | Special ingredients | Orangic | | Specific Uses For Product | Pet Food | | Specific uses for product | Pet Food | | Target Species | Reptile | | Unit Count | 1 count | ## Product Details - **Age range (description):** All Life Stages - **Brand:** The Mealworm Company LIVEFOODS DIRECT - **Flavour:** Culture - **Item form:** Live Foods - **Specific uses for product:** Pet Food ## Images ![The Mealworm Company LIVEFOODS DIRECT Large Fruit Flies Culture, reptile and bird food Flightless - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51u-9pQe6QL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: I have lots of small brown seed shaped insects that have no visible legs and and have extremely small antennas. Are these fruit fly pupa?** A: If they are stuck to the sides of the container then yes they are, when mine arrived it only had a few flies inside but then the pupae arrived on the sides and I had lots more flies, this is well worth the money ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Large Fruit Flies Culture *by A***T on 21 April 2026* They arrived the day after being ordered.
