hey everyone


im feeding me female veiled ffs but was wondering do you gutload them? or some how have to dust them? (calcuim, ect.)

i want to start my own cultures but just had those qs thanks

I gutloaded my fruitflies with some fruit, just throw it down there and they will suck it all up!
And to the "dust part" I used to shake of a bunch of them in a smaller cup, put in a small amount of powder, shake them around a little then I just let them free range in the big umbrella plant and my little guy would just suck them all up

Depends on how many you are going to feed her. If you are starting your own cultures probably lots I would also add bits of fruit. Butternut squash is high in calcium and fruit flies like it.
It is possible to dust them by getting them into another box (or maybe a plastic bag) that has the dust in already.
