@@JoshsFrogs Im confused cuz the description on the purchase page says "spread a thin layer of Bug Blade around the base of your vivarium and prevent escapee fruit flies from crawling to freedom!" this seems like contradictory information to then say its ok to put them in the bug blade before starting a new culture... can you please clarify this information!
After creating a culture and waiting the two weeks, does this culture continue to breed for an extended period of time as long as you don’t exhaust all the flies each time you do a feeding? And should you periodically water it by spraying every couple of weeks to keep the moisture level up? Thanks!
followed directions and got mold in cultures. I stirred the culture after because a large amount of it was dry on bottom as well. But left on shelf and hadnt used in a couple days and molded.
Hi so I built a really large habitat with living plants and everything for my baby praying mantises and I have the fruit fly culture that you gave me I was thinking about making a secondary container and just leaving it in the mantis habitat with the culture at the bottom and ways for the flies to get out I mean as long as I remove it every two weeks maybe do you see any problem with that I want to be able to have a continuous food supply for the mantises.
Don't worry - Charlie is a pro! If you take a look at the timestamps, there's more than 90 seconds between adding the water and adding the flies. With the media absorbing the water fairly quickly and a decent surface area : water ratio, it cools down enough to be safe for the flies :)
I was thinking the same thing... Usually with boiling water, I thought it took about an hour or so to cool enough at room temp without harming the flies?
Are you using Josh's Frogs media or another kind? Typically our media doesn't have a foul smell until after the culture is done producing (~4 weeks from starting).
I received my order of fruit flies,it appears it wasn't kept in an upright position,because the stuff on the bottom has covered the sides of the container,my questions is does the affect the hatching process?
theres tons of recipes that work fine, you could probably try any of them, but you should buy their mold inhibitor and add that to whatever you mix. mold is always the #1 issue and its a life saver!
