Fly Pupae

Live Fly Pupae (Mustica domestica) are ideal for feeding to frogs, lizards, arachnids, scorpions, turtles, birds, poultry and fish. Fly Pupae and hatched flies are nutritious and high in protein.

Fly Pupae are a valuable addition to the diet of many native animals including platypus and echidnas. Flies are also used for pollinating food crops. Deactivated Fly Pupae are nutritious and can be kept for months in the freezer. Our feeder insects are grown on our family farm in Australia and shipped to your door fast. 

Frequently Asked Questions

Are flying insects available to buy for pet feeding?

Yes, we have insects like black soldier fly larvae, and fly pupae, that can be hatched into their flying form. These are perfect for pets like frogs, who love to catch their prey in the air. 

What are fly pupae used for?

Live fly pupae (Musca domestica) hatch into flies, giving frogs, lizards and fish moving aerial prey to chase — excellent enrichment for insectivorous pets.

Where can I buy fly pupae in Australia?

Reptile Realm sells Australian-grown live fly pupae online, delivered fresh with a live arrival guarantee to QLD, NSW, ACT, SA and VIC.

How do you hatch fly pupae into flies?

Keep fly pupae at room temperature in a ventilated container; within days they hatch into flies that frogs and reptiles can chase and catch.

How do you store fly pupae?

Refrigerate fly pupae to delay hatching, then bring them to room temperature when you want flies to emerge for feeding.

Reptile realm sent me a message to remind me about the public holiday and a heads up the crickets would be a few days later being in Victoria. Thank you for organising that and reaching out to me. Will get my crickets from your store, as my local I would get about 10 in a box and pay full price and I’d rather get them from you guys and pay extra for postage and have a full box that would last weeks. Thank ypul

I live in a small town on the York peninsula South Australia.
I can't always get mealworms.
I came across Reptile Ream on Google.
I did an order on Monday and received my mealworms package on Thursday.
They were well packaged and had a care plan for the mealworms with a contact if required.
There was no loss of mealworms.

Thankyou

I have no hesitations in recomending Reptile Realm. They provide quality products and have amazing customer service. The live bugs are so much healthier than those from the pet stores. From the very first parcel you can see that Lisa and the team take pride in the service they provide and care about the products they send out. I won't say there have been no issues, with anything things can go wrong sometimes. However, Lisa and team were very quick to make everything right and fix things for the future. For sure buy from these guys!
