Our curly wing flies are the main staple of many invertebrate and amphibian diets. They are very affordable, highly nutritious and quite easy to digest making them perfect for daily feeding. Our curly wing flies are dispatched direct from the breeder and will be gut loaded before packing to make sure that they are as nutritious as possible on arrival.
Curly wing flies are the perfect size for hatchling amphibians very small fish and juvenile insectivorous invertebrates (e.g. mantis and tarantulas). In store we use the curly wing flies with all of our baby spiders, baby frogs, mantis and small dart frogs.
This product will be delivered in a plastic container. Small airholes perforate the side at regular intervals to provide maximum ventilation with minimal chance of escape. The castors line the floor and should hatch within a week of arriving as long as they are kept around 10-15C and out of direct sunlight. During the summer months the outer cardboard box may also include perforations to keep them cool while in colder months we may include a plain white heatpack.
If you want to keep the flies as nutritious as possible we would recommend you continue to feed them on a nutritious vegetable and fruit diet or with insect foods. For more information on the diet please consult our livefood caresheet.
