Blue Bottle Fly Spikes are the larval stage of the Blue Bottle Fly (Calliphora vicina). Blue Bottle Fly Spikes are a nutritious food source for pets like reptiles, birds, and fish.
Do you have an insectivore that loves to hunt for its prey? Look no further. Simply place a few spikes in a bowl with a lid and keep at room temperature. In the course of a few days the spikes will pupate and emerge into flies. Many insectivores go crazy over chasing flies around in their enclosure. Blue bottle flies bring out the hunter instinct in your insectivore. Excellent for chameleons, geckos, frogs, turtles, birds, fish and various species of spiders.
● Rich in protein (about 20%) and low in fat (around 6%), a balanced diet.
● Great supplemental feeder for most, pet reptiles or amphibians.
● Easy to manage and packed with nutrients to promote healthy growth.
● Spikes should be refrigerated to extend their shelf life.
