alcohol content of fruit flies

i know someone here must know.

so i have some baby xanths due any day now and i was planning on being prepared rather than running around like a chicken with my head cut off trying to find feeders.

now if i get a culture or two, from a local petstore, what options do i have as far as food source goes. and i going to have to order medium online? or can i just use some rotting fruit to propagate?

last time i did this i ordered the flies online and the medium.

is the alcohol content of the fermenting fruit going to turn out detrimental? does it depend on what sort of fruit i get, like apples smell like alcohol far sooner than bananas.

who has a blog on this i know someone must.

and has anyone found the blogs fairly difficult to navigate or is it just me? i feel like they need to be organized better

thanks for any input!

repashy superfly is what i use i have 2 different kinds of flytless i also just buy a roll of the plasic cheep gutter gaurd you can buy at the hardware store and cut it into 8-10 inch strips and fold like an aqordian place it inside for there pirch mix your superfly first obviously. the repashy superfly is awsome imo.Thanks for the idea i am going to write a blog on this for everyone because i have about ten culuresof each type. just thriving like crazy every week or so i have too start a new couple cultures all im feeding right now is a couple anoles i hatched.when my next clutch hatches im going to have shelves of these things.

70 veiws and no more input?

mc, thanks for the input but like i said i wanted to avoid having to order the fly food online.

then you will have too use fruit that is not decaying because i believe the alcohol content will be too high in decayin food i would not trust it. i would research how to make your own i do know brewers yeast is the most important ingreadient.once you have the flies i would think that trading out the fruit as it starts to decay would be your best bet as far as using fruit.
just my opinion

here you go its a do it your self recipes hope this is what you wanted.

You would probably be able to get everything to make media locally. I know there are some websites that will give ingredients for media

There are a lot of recipes out there, but I have a blog that includes the simplest recipe I have found that doesn't include anything that will rot like a banana. I have ongoing fruit fly containers and this works so well I rarely buy them unless I don't hatch out babies for a long time and all my flies die. It only requires potato flakes, powdered sugar and brewers yeast. Oops, and just a bit of regular yeast.

Anyway, check out my blog for the recipe and see how simple it is. You can keep the dry parts forever and only add the water and vinegar when needed.

that recipe is on the list aswell

make the effort to call around to see if someone can order it. Use Repashy Superfly or you'll have more of a headache trying to keep a culture alive or continue breeding them, then you are trying to find out the alcohol content.

excellent! thank you guys!

that should be sufficient. unless someone else has some more excellent information for future reference
