Review: Getting a bad rap for things they do not control, great product!! - I feel like this store gets bad reviews for things completely out of their control… mail deliveries are inconsistent at best… especially desertcart packages these days… also they have no control over how you care for your kits. I bought my first one over a year ago, it is officially dying now, because I failed to care for it recently. When this comes the first thing you should be doing is preparing a new cup with food to start your own culture as it takes weeks to start. chances are that you will have big blooms of over population followed by huge losses because unless you are a big time spider owner, you will not use them as fast as they hatch. Over population will kill them faster than lack of food. Great quality culture, I tried a pet store cup to boost mine back up and they did not take well at all, Josh’s are way better. I paid 7 dollars for a 8 oz culture at the pet store, immediately set them up to create a new 32 oz culture cup, it worked to a degree, I got a few but not enough to feed my one full grown jumper and my new sling a proper diet with enough to start a new culture, they didn’t even make a dent in the food there were so few. With Josh’s I start a culture with about 20 flies for a slow controlled start and still end up with more than I need which I feed to my guppies each week. ## Features - FEED YOUR ANIMALS NATURALLY: Josh's Frogs fruit fly cultures provide a reliable source of live reptile food and amphibian food; ideal for poison dart frogs, juvenile frogs, slings, fish, praying mantids, geckos, and other small pets that thrive on tiny feeder insects - HIGH PRODUCTION CULTURES: Each 32 oz culture contains food and moisture to support production for 4 to 8 weeks; capable of producing thousands of fruit flies when maintained at proper temperature and humidity levels; perfect for building a dependable feeder insect colony - CHOOSE THE RIGHT SIZE FEEDER: Drosophila Melanogaster measure approximately 1/16 inch and are excellent for tiny animals and beginner keepers; Drosophila Hydei measure approximately 1/8 inch and offer a larger, meatier prey option for growing reptiles and amphibians - PRODUCING OR FRESHLY STARTED OPTIONS: Producing Cultures typically begin hatching feedable flies within 3 days of arrival; Freshly Started Cultures are prepared shortly before shipping and are ideal for planned feeder rotations and long-term colony production - EASY TO MAINTAIN: Mold-inhibiting media helps support healthy cultures; maintain between 70 to 80°F and 60 to 80% humidity for best results; simple care requirements make fruit fly culturing approachable for both new and experienced hobbyists ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B09F7QMSZ1 | | Additional Features | Live Fruit Fly Production, Unique Media for High Yield | | Age Range (Description) | All Life Stages | | Age Range Description | All Life Stages | | Animal Food Diet Type | Raw | | Best Sellers Rank | #7,169 in Pet Supplies ( See Top 100 in Pet Supplies ) #40 in Reptile & Amphibian Food | | Brand | Josh's Frogs | | Brand Name | Josh's Frogs | | Breed Recommendation | Reptile, Amphibians | | Container Type | Bottle | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 2,114 Reviews | | Dog Breed Size | Small | | Flavor | Seafood | | Item Form | Tablet | | Item Weight | 32 Ounces | | Manufacturer | Josh's Frogs | | Number of Items | 1 | | Occasion | Birthday | | Pet Type | Amphibian, Insect | | Product Benefits | Provides suitable food for small animals | | Recommended Uses For Product | Pet Food, Insectivore Feed, Poison Dart Frog Food, Tarantula Sling Food, Mantid Nymph Food | | Special Ingredients | Josh's Frogs World Famous Fruit Fly Media, Wormsloof Fulvic Acid | | Specific Uses For Product | Food | | Target Species | Amphibian | | Unit Count | 32.0 Ounce | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** All Life Stages - **Brand:** Josh's Frogs - **Flavor:** Seafood - **Item Form:** Tablet - **Specific Uses For Product:** Food ## Images ![Josh's Frogs Drosophila Melanogaster Fly Culture, 32 oz - Freshly Started - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41FLzhOjxyL.jpg) ![Josh's Frogs Drosophila Melanogaster Fly Culture, 32 oz - Freshly Started - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/810-+s+BzwL.jpg) ![Josh's Frogs Drosophila Melanogaster Fly Culture, 32 oz - Freshly Started - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81r-8c+XlEL.jpg) ![Josh's Frogs Drosophila Melanogaster Fly Culture, 32 oz - Freshly Started - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/815dmQo4WHL.jpg) ![Josh's Frogs Drosophila Melanogaster Fly Culture, 32 oz - Freshly Started - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81tivBO5eGL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Set** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: How do you get them out of the culture and into the praying mantis habitat without the flies going all over the place, if you are doing it indoors?** A: Haven't tried it yet, but I saw that you can coat the sides of a feeder cup, or something similar, with Vaseline before transferring from the culture. That way they can't crawl up the sides. Just tip the cup over and tap the side until you've gotten enough into the habitat. **Q: Are they insulated when they are shipped?** A: They are packaged securely but not insulated. **Q: Can these be fed upon arrival? My tarantula slings arent eating the bean beetles i got them** A: I ordered this product last year. There were a good amount moving around and ready to feed to your pet when they arrive. Great product. **Q: What is the square bag that comes in the box... is it food for the fruit flies, if so, do i break it up and put it in the container with the flies ?** A: Hello, Thank you for reaching out to us! The white square bag that came with the flies is a heat pack to keep them toasty warm through their travels! You can throw it away once received! Our Flies come from Michigan and it can get real chilly here in the winter! ❄ If you have any other questions, feel free to give us a call at 800-691-8178 or e-mail us at info@joshsfrogs.com!
