Wingless Fruit Flies - Drosophila Melanogaster

The wingless fruit fly, also known as Drosophila melanogaster, is a small, non-flying insect species that belongs to the family Drosophilidae. This species is commonly used in laboratory research due to its fast reproduction rate, easy care, and low maintenance requirements. However, they are also an excellent source of nutrition for surface dwelling aquarium fish and reptiles, making them a great replacement for traditional feeders such as pinhead crickets.

Wingless fruit flies are also an excellent option for picky eaters. Due to their small size, they are easily digestible and can be consumed by fish and reptiles with smaller mouths. Additionally, they are available in various sizes, allowing for the customisation of feeding schedules and the provision of the right size meal for the specific animal.

Unlike pinhead crickets, which can be time-consuming and take up a lot of space to culture, our wingless fruit flies are easy to breed and care for. With just one cup culture, you can expect hundreds of fruit flies to emerge, providing a steady and convenient source of food for your pets. Another advantage of using wingless fruit flies as a food source is their ease of care and maintenance. They do not produce any noise or odor, making them a great option for use in indoor environments.

At approximately 2.5mm long, our wingless fruit flies are too tiny to fly but can jump a short distance, adding an extra level of excitement to feeding time for your pets. Plus, these flies are packed with essential nutrients, including protein, amino acids, and vitamins, ensuring that your pets stay healthy and strong.
