Why Choose a Culture Kit?
Culturing your own fruit flies can be far more economical than continually purchasing ready-made cultures.
By starting a new culture every 1–2 weeks, you can maintain a continuous supply of feeders for your spiders and other invertebrates.
The included Fly Fuel™ media has been formulated to create productive, long-lasting cultures with minimal fuss.
How It Works
- Add 30g Fly Fuel™ to a culture tub.
- Add 50ml water and allow to absorb.
- Add wood wool.
- Add approximately 40–50 adult flies from your starter culture.
- Fit the vented lid and foam bung.
- Keep between 20–24°C.
Sit back and let your new army of tiny airborne snacks get to work.
Please Note
Contains live fruit flies.
For best results, start a new culture every 1–2 weeks rather than all four cultures at once.
