Great Product! Review by Chris

I ordered this kit tuesday at 3pm and it got here 2 days later by 1pm! This is a great kit to help with starting your own fruit fly cultures. I wouldn't shop anywhere else, Joshs Frogs has everything I need! (Posted on 6/2/11)

This kit was a lifesaver, literally. I purchased a couple vents with a kit of flightless melanogaster fruit fly cultures (1 started but not producing culture) from another company as my first dart frogs. In my neophyte naivete, I expected that unestablished fruit fly culture to sustain my frogs' diet. After driving an hour and a half in the middle of the night to purchase two hydei cultures from a somewhat local hobbyist to resolve my emergency temporarily, my order of this kit came through and my frogs were relieved to have a manageable-sized prey again. My nose was relieved by the noninvasive smell of the media that Josh's Frogs has developed, and I have had my first success with sustaining a healthy supply of fruit fly cultures and now have the problem of having more food than two small mouths can consume. I am now able to offer emergency-relief to my fellow, local hobbyists as we enter the long, cold months when it is difficult to ship fruit fly cultures across the country. Once again, thanks Josh's Frogs for thinking outside the box with this one and offering the unique luxury of producing cultures. (Posted on 3/18/11)

Great kit for first time frogger!
Josh's mix is the only one I recommend to my frog customers. I have never had issues with the media versus the dozens of others I have attempted! A+ (Posted on 3/18/11)

I bought this kit in October 2005 and it's working great!

I've only used about 1/4-1/3 of the media. Each fly culture I make is producing hundreds of flightless flies (no accidental fliers). I make a new culture every two weeks so I can't say how long they last, but I have had cultures go into a third "hatch" before tossing it from having just too many going.

I would highly recommend Josh's culture kit.
