Fruit flies (Drosophila species) are an easily cultured prey item for herps that need smaller foods. Drosophila melanogaster is a smaller, faster reproducing species, taking about 14 days to complete its life cycle. Drosophila hydei is a larger species which takes longer to mature, taking about 21 days to complete its life cycle. JoshsFrogs provides cultures that are freshly started, or already producing.
