Ira Posted February 6, 2004 Report Share Posted February 6, 2004 Anyone tried breeding houseflies? I'm thinking of trying it to feed my frogs. Not having much luck with fruit flies, thought maybe bigger houseflies would work. Anyone know what kind of media would work well? I was thinking I might try similar media as with fruit flies.

Ira Posted February 6, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2004 Hmmm, Might not be worth it to drive out to your place every day for flies. Most of the flies that occasionally fly around here are too big anyway, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Felix Posted February 8, 2004 Report Share Posted February 8, 2004 wednesday - after repeated naggings from wife/partner/etc forget mistakenly on purpose to take out rubbish.leave outside for 2 days until it has been slightly ravaged by nextdoors dog and then place inside garage. go to work for rest of week and during weekend drink beer and generally laze around not mowing lawns etc.on monday dash out to garage slightly late for work, open door and nearly keel over with the smell. attend work, only slightly late and then come home, pull apart rubbish bag and find liquid gold - maggots. They may be served immediately to discus with relish or kept and fed as flies ( although u need a tight fitting lid or u have to kill them or pull their wings off - yetchh) . Commence breeding them by repeating this cycle weekly. (it helps if the venue of location of rubbish bag is changed frequently so it doesnt look like its happening on purpose)...

Ira Posted February 8, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2004 Somehow I suspect it'd end up my dead corpse being the maggot food if I tried that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
