Drosophila instant mix: Optimize your breeding effectively

Drosophila instant mix is your ideal partner to take fruit fly breeding activities to a new level and provide your terrarium animals with a varied and nutritious diet. This instant mix has been specially developed to meet the needs of fruit flies from the larval stage to full maturity. Each developmental phase of the flies is optimally supported by the balanced composition of the instant mix to ensure healthy development and effective reproduction.

A striking feature of our Drosophila instant mix is its pleasant banana smell, which not only makes breeding efforts more attractive to the flies, but also allows the breeding batch to be placed in the living area without having to worry about unpleasant odors. The instant mix is therefore ideal for home breeding, ensuring that you always have fresh food sources available for your terrarium animals.

The application of our Drosophila instant mix is extremely simple and efficient. Mixing the powder with water creates an optimal breeding substrate that provides ideal conditions for the fruit flies to lay their eggs and develop. This enables a continuous supply of fresh Drosophila for your terrarium animals, which is particularly important for a balanced diet for your fosterlings.

The Drosophila instant mix is available in a practical 1000 ml stand-up pouch, which is designed for long-term use and numerous breeding batches. This allows you to regularly and reliably provide fresh fruit flies to optimally supply your terrarium animals.

Convince yourself of the quality and efficiency of our Drosophila instant mix and make your breeding efforts easier. Your terrarium animals will benefit from the constant supply of vital fruit flies and show you their health and vitality. A product that no terrarium household should be without!

Yield:
1000 ml Drosophila instant mix is sufficient for 32 Drosophila breeding batches!

Instructions for preparing a Drosophila preparation

With this simple method, you can create a successful Drosophila batch directly in the breeding container.

Ingredients:

  • 90 ml water
  • 10 ml vinegar (any type)
  • 23 g Drosophila instant mix
  • Optional: some dry kitchen paper or wood wool as a climbing aid

  1. Prepare the breeding container:
    Use a suitable container with ventilation (e.g. fine air holes or a net in the lid).

  2. Add instant mix:
    Sprinkle 23 g of Drosophila instant mix directly into the breeding container.

  3. Add liquid & mix:
    Pour 90 ml water and 10 ml vinegar into the container and stir everything well until it forms a paste-like mixture. If the consistency is too firm or too runny, you can adjust it with a little water or instant mix.

  4. Insert a climbing aid:
    Place a few pieces of dry kitchen paper or wood wool in the container. These help the flies to move around and lay their eggs.

  5. Insert flies:
    Add some adult Drosophila flies to the freshly prepared container so that they can lay eggs.

  6. Put the lid on & store warm:

    • Close the container with a lid that has ventilation.
    • Place the batch in a warm place (20-25 °C).
    • After approx. 10-14 days, new flies are ready for feeding.

Tips for successful breeding:

Mix the mash directly in the container – saves time and prevents unnecessary mess.
Don’t forget vinegar – keeps the mixture fresh for longer and reduces mold.
Make new mash regularly so that you have a continuous supply of food flies.
