broms2 Posted August 22, 2010 Report Share Posted August 22, 2010 in the worm farm is just all scraps from the kitchen with wet newspaper on top, not sure how the flys even get in there to begin with as pretty much a sealed unit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gocada Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 Sorry to wake such an old post up but does anyone actually breed these today? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beckyboo Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 I wouldn't say I breed them as such but I did discover a heap of them in my worm farm. Didn't know what they were till I read the above link so might be the next meal for my frogs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinnadian Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 They're really hard to breed, no one is currently successful in NZ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
