Flies
With a variety of live food available to purchase, the Swell Livefood Flightless Fruit-Flies are extremely important and very nutritious for your reptiles. These are ideal for poison arrow Frogs, small day Geckos, small Newts, Salamanders and hatchling Chameleons. The flies live for approximately 1 month when bought in a pre-pack. However, you can expand creating your own live food colony by purchasing the Fruit Fly Culture. This allows you to grow Fruit Flies, making your purchase worth while in the long term.
We offer a lowest price guarantee on the freshest livefood available to purchase. Orders placed before 12PM Monday-Thursday will be sent over to our UK based breeder, who will then organise your purchase to be safely packed and sent out. All our livefood is sent in tubs made from 100% recycled material.
Do remember that live food is often affected by cold weather. Please reference our guide outlining tips on what to do when receiving live reptile food during cold weather.

Flightless fruit fly cultures are a little different to other live food feeder insects. Rather than a ready-made but not necessarily sustainable colony of insects (like Locusts), a fruit fly culture is a more sustainable source of feeder insect for your reptile. Delivered to your door fresh from our expert breeders, each culture comes in a small tub complete with mini air-holes. Inside, you will find culture medium, fruit fly eggs, larvae and a few adult flies too.
Everything the culture needs to survive for a least a few weeks is inside the tub, just keep it at room temperature and the tub will keep springing adult fruit flies to feed to your reptiles for quite a while!
These flies have been specifically bred to be flightless, making them easier to keep and easier for your reptile to catch and eat.
