For hatchlings and very young geckos under 3 inches only. Flightless cultures (D. melanogaster or D. hydei) are essential — winged fruit flies will escape immediately. Adults and sub-adults should be transitioned to appropriately sized crickets or roach nymphs as quickly as possible. Nutritionally limited — use only as a starter feeder.
