I tried a culture recipe and put about 30 FF in the container. All the flies are still active and healthy looking but I am not seeing any larvae. How long should it be before I see some kind of activity? Today is the 7th day.
Thanks.
Great, I wish I knew what type of flies they were. They just came in a little tube with blue goo in the bottom and a sponge on top. The store owner had no idea what type they were. I plan on ordering some in the future if I can make this culture work. It has only been about 70 degrees in the house so maybe it is just a tad to cool to see anything yet.
Lisa,
you might try moving the culture to a warmer place in your home, laundry room, kitchen, bathroom. See if that doesn't help to jump start them. Just be careful not to get them too warm (80+degrees).
