Well, feeder insects are pretty hard to find due to the pet stores. Pet stores now ususally dont sell pets, but if they do, they are not selling reptiles or animals that need feeder insects. The flies that are found around here i could catch them and breed them. to separate adults from the young i could have another container on top of the flyes container and try to separate them and freeze the adults. I dont know if this is viable, but it is the best option i have.Batspiderfish wrote: ↑Fri Jun 30, 2017 4:39 pmI don't know what availability is like where you are for feeder insects, but you could always make food intended for vinegar flies and raise whatever local native equivalent comes to lay eggs there. They'll have wings, but you can harvest them by refrigerating the container or utilizing some other method to separate adult flies.

Yes. I know it sounds weird, because pet stores sell pets, but where I live right now, the situation is not good, so not many pet stores sell pets, but they sell things like: dog toys, dog food, cat food, and stuff like that. As of right now I have seen no pet stores that sell reptiles.Jadeninja9 wrote: ↑Sat Jul 01, 2017 4:15 pmDid you just say pet stores usually don't sell pets?Yestordsd287 wrote: ↑Sat Jul 01, 2017 2:35 pmWell, feeder insects are pretty hard to find due to the pet stores.

i could, but the shipment would be really expensive due to many national economic issues.Jadeninja9 wrote: ↑Sun Jul 02, 2017 3:03 pmI guess you could buy the wingless fruit flies off amazon.
