BSFL

So, when the BSFL turn into flies, can I still feed them to Mango? I am kinda scared to do so because BSFs look pretty scary.

Yes you can but people dont recommend feeding the flies too often because you cant gutload them

Bsfl dont eat but still are high in nutrients so feed away. They have no mouth that can bite btw or stinger.

You might not think a fly could be very interesting but Black Solier Flies are facinating!

BSFL dosent need to be gutloaded. The bug itself have enough calcium/ nutrition that it dosent need anything additional. You’re cham will love them, they like challenges.

Gutloading isn't for the sole purpose of calcium, and the calcium ratio refers to the larvae. That said, the flies are excellent additions to a varied diet. Feed away

The larva can eat the flies cannot, they have no mouth to eat.
