## Questions & Answers

**Q: Live Food Care**
A: Both the hatched flies, and the culture comes with everything needed, although more fruit can be added to the culture once all hatched to prolong the shelf life. Keep at room temperature.

**Q: What does the culture come with?**
A: The culture of flightless fruit flies contains eggs, larvae and pupa. The culture will continue to produce new flies for several weeks and should be kept at normal room temperature. There may or may not be ready hatched flies.

**Q: What species of fly are Livefoods4u Live Fruit Flies?**
A: We offer two species. Drosophila hydei are the larger of the two, and Drosophila melanogaster (Golden Fruit Flies) are the smaller species.

**Q: What nutrition do they provide?**
A: Drosophila fruit flies are an excellent source of easily digestible protein. They also contain essential amino acids, and vitamins and minerals such as vitamin A, vitamin D, and vitamin E, as well as calcium, iron, and zinc.

**Q: Which species of fly is best for me?**
A: If you keep very small species, such as Ranitomeya or Mantella frogs, or hatchling Mourning Geckos and spiderlings, then the Golden Fruit Flies may be best. Our normal fruit flies are suited to slightly larger species of Poison frog or Day gecko.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great culture but very full.
*by V***R on 15 January 2024*

Product arrived quickly, with a decent amount of flies, possibly too many for one culture as it has boomed and I have at least 100 flies and growing, impossible to open without flies going everywhere.

### ⭐ Live on arrival, dead the next day
*by I***S on 29 October 2025*

Bought the live (hatched) flies - not culture. Dozens of live flies on day of arrival, kept at room temperature, all dead a day later. For £8, my spiderling got 1 fly meal. Will now have to source more flies ASAP...
