Frequently Asked Questions

How do I feed insects that fly to my pet?

It's pretty difficult, which is why all of our fruit flies are flightless; that's right, flies that can't fly!

How long after I recieve them will it be until they start producing?

This depends on the species you order.  If you ordered our Already Producing Cultures, they should be producing on arrival. or within another day or two at most.  See our Care page for details.

I need a lot of fruit flies...are you able to supply us?

Sure; we are able to fill orders for several hundred cultures at a time.

I really need these flies quick...can you ship them overnight?

Yes, but we require you to pay the difference in the shipping price.  If you are in a rush, also try some Already Producing cultures.

I live right by you...can I pick up the cultures from you?

Yes, but we must know in advance; see our Pickup page for details.

Are fruit flies healthy for my pet?

Definitely. Ours are grown on our premium fruit fly media which means you know our fruit flies gut content is very nutritious.

I am going to be ordering fruit flies on a regular basis...do you give price cuts?

Sure, we give price cuts to all of our regular customers.  We can also arrange to ship them to you without you ordering on a regular basis.  See our Wholsale page for details.

I really like your website.  Do you design them?  Can you design me one?

Yes and yes.  I do design all of the Snail Tail sites myself and I am able to provide websites, logos, flash design and search engine optimization.  Just let me know what you need.  See our Design page for details.
