How long to gut-load Blue Bottles

[ASublimeDay]

How long should I gutload blue bottle flies for? About how long do the pupae take to hatch out in room temperature?

Thanks!

Can feed off right away. If you see them eat, it's in their gut and being used fairly fast. If pupae are fresh, it can take a few days at room temp.. Otherwise usually they will hatch in 24 to 48 hours.

I found a recipe if anybody is looking:

Hard boiled egg, mashed up well
Dry cricket/roach gutload
Honey
Yogurt
Bee Pollen

They love it. I mix it so its a moist consistency, but not wet.
