We advise that the customer should never remove all of the fruit flies from the Fruit Fly Culture, a few should be left in the vial for breeders. This will increase the lifespan of the vial and result in the need to buy fruit flies less often.
Gently tap the top of the culture to knock the fruit flies to the bottom. Remove cover and shake out the desired amount. It is recommended that you dust your flies with a vitamin supplement such as Fluker's Repta-Calcium or Fluker's Repta-Vitamin prior to feeding them to your pet.

Which shipping method should I choose? We offer a wide variety of options for shipping your live insects. Using the chart above as reference, our customers can choose which shipping service will work best for them. It is important to take into account that transit times vary greatly between the different options. USPS First Class Mail can take up to 7 business days and Fedex Overnight is a one business day in transit service. What works well for some customers will not always work well for others. If it is during the hot summer months or cold winter months we recommend not using USPS First Class Mail because it is the slowest option and increases the risk of receiving your insects DOA. Make sure to check the weather, carefully taking into account transit time and places that your package will travel through. Also important to consider is the price between the shipping methods: USPS First Class Mail is the cheapest, Fedex Priority Overnight is the most expensive with many options in between. We try to provide as much information as possible but it is ultimately up to the customer to make the best choice based on weather and the quality of delivery services available to your area.

I think I expected the same cultures you find in the pet store but what I received was a small vial of about 20 flies. When I say small I mean a one inch wide by 2 1/2 tall. Says it produces 500 flies. I am trying to feed multiple chameleons so this was a waste of money. Disappointed.
I was outside when the mailman dropped off the package, and opened it immediately when I got inside. Not only are these flies EXTREMELY tiny, but most of them are dead. Not impressed.
They arrived with lots of flies. They laid a lot of eggs and are in the larva stage now. Great product I'm very happy with them and so is my baby anole.
