Gut loading fruit flies for pygmies

[petefromsouthampton]

My new baby Brevs are tucking into fruit flies, but i wondered if it's worth feeding the FFs if possible on something high in calcium, such as dried figs? I know dried figs can contain sulphates, but I would use the organic ones.

Any ideas on this?

You could sprinkle calcium onto the food culture.

Simply dust the FF's before feeding.
