Drosophila hydei Fruit Flies – Large Flightless Fruit Flies for Reptiles, Amphibians & Spiderlings

Drosophila hydei fruit flies are one of the most popular live feeder insects for small reptiles, amphibians, dart frogs, mantises, and spiderlings. These large flightless fruit flies (Drosophila hydei) are easy to culture, highly nutritious, and ideal for animals that require small, moving prey.

At The Reptile Realm, our Drosophila hydei cultures are healthy, productive, and ready to feed, making them perfect for hobbyists, breeders, and keepers looking for reliable live food.

Why Choose Drosophila hydei Fruit Flies?

Drosophila hydei fruit flies are larger than standard Drosophila melanogaster, making them ideal for slightly bigger animals that still require small feeder insects.

• Large flightless fruit flies – easier to handle and feed
• Perfect live food for dart frogs, mantises and spiderlings
• High reproduction rate for continuous feeding
• Soft-bodied feeder insect ideal for delicate animals
• Easy to culture at home

Because Drosophila hydei fruit flies cannot fly, they are much easier to manage during feeding compared to wild fruit flies.

Ideal For Feeding

Drosophila hydei fruit flies are suitable for a wide range of animals including:

• Dart frogs
• Juvenile geckos
• Praying mantis nymphs
• Jumping spiders
• Spiderlings
• Small amphibians
• Baby reptiles requiring small live prey

Their larger size compared to melanogaster fruit flies makes them an excellent intermediate feeder insect.
