Fruit Flies
🪰 (Drosophila melanogaster) – Fast, Flightless, Full of Enrichment
When it comes to tiny predators with big appetites, Drosophila melanogaster is the go-to live feeder. Flightless, fast-moving, and small enough for the most delicate mouths, TK’S WORMHOLE Fruit Flies deliver non-stop motion that stimulates natural hunting behaviours and encourages even the fussiest eaters to strike.
These micro feeders are perfect for dart frogs, fish fry, baby geckos, mantis nymphs, tarantulas, and any critter that thrives on movement-based feeding.
🔬 Built for Micro Hunters:
Soft-bodied and low in chitin, Fruit Flies offer an easy-to-digest protein source for pets with sensitive systems. Their fluttery, erratic scurry triggers reflexes, supports cognitive stimulation, and mirrors prey in the wild — all while keeping your pets mentally and physically enriched.
🌿 Packaged to Simplify:
No mess, no hassle. Our vented containers are designed for clean, controlled feeding — just pop the lid, tap out what you need, and reseal. Each culture is pre-fed and well-established so you don’t have to start from scratch.
✅ Perfect for: Dart frogs, nano fish, slings (spiderlings), baby mantids, hatchling reptiles, and enrichment-focused feeding routines.
💡 TK’S TIP: Keep the container upright, sealed between uses, and in a cool, stable environment. A little fruit fly goes a long way for stimulating mealtime magic.

Tiny but mighty, Fruit Flies are a live food essential — perfect for micro predators, froglets, hatchlings, and invertebrates. These wingless or flightless varieties are easy to handle, breed rapidly, and offer safe, protein-rich feeding for even the smallest mouths.
Their constant twitchy movement keeps pets alert, sharpens reflexes, and supports natural hunting behaviours.
Did you know? Fruit Flies are a go-to feeder for amphibians because their size and soft bodies minimise choking risks — making them a top choice for delicate eaters.
