Josh's Frogs Producing Flightless Golden Hydei Fruit Fly Culture

The seller has good customer service and the product timely arrived. We will be order for future needs from this seller.! Thank you

Bought this on June 1st and when they shipped in I thought they were for sure all dead cause they delivered a day early and put in my Texas mail box cooking for six hours in temps up to 107. Took them out and left them on my frog shelf, completely forgotten about.Today is July 28th, and upon doing some deep cleaning, these guys were apparently THRIVING and to think I was going to throw this away! I’ve got a fantastic colony restarted in a cleaner environment and they are doing amazing! What a weird surprise!

They,for some reason,are not viable when I get them

Definitely good culture, 100s of pupae, 100s more maggots. 100% dead on arrival. Considering 100s and 100s in the cup, at all stages, all dead, no survivors, makes me think that USPS is trying somehow to discourage people from ordering this type of cargo. Shipping was quick, temps were nowhere near what it takes to kill entire culture like that.I ordered from JF once before, that time temperature was higher, box came upside down, despite huge arrow on the shipper indicating top side. I got enough live hydei from that culture to keep Carolina happy for a while though.Bottom line, if you'll get them alive, they're very nice, healthy cultures, but you are always at the mercy of your postal service.

My little pacific tree frog loves these. I hear him snapping them up all night long. The only problem I had was that I probably kept them too warm, because they started flying after awhile and now I have a really bad fruit fly infestation in my kitchen lol! So don't forget to keep them in a cool area or you'll have little flying buggies everywhere !

The first shipment was null; however, the replacement was bursting with golden flies--a color I had never seen. To ease the culture load, I started three new colonies.

These are perfect for my jumping spider slings. There’s plenty of fruit flies and I’d say it’s worth the money. I’ve only heard good things about this company and so far, no complaints! Thank you 🙂

they're dead half the time and have a strange oder.... customer service is good at resending... it's just a hassle to have to go through that so often
