Raising feeders

Hello everyone,
I was scrolling through the posts and saw one on feeders, which reminded me of some stuff. I could swear that I saw a video (I think from AntsCanada) on YouTube on raising different feeder insects, but I can’t seem to find it now.
If someone knows of a good video, or just knows how to raise cultures of fruit flies, crickets, mealworms, etc. that would be great! It would be awesome if someone could give me a summary or something!
Thanks,
Idahoantguy

If you want a nutritious and fool-proof food for ants, go with Drosophila flies. The downside is that cleaning out the old cultures can be pretty gross, but even the pickiest colonies seem to like em'.
