Fly Gutload

[Lizardlover]

Hey guys, I have been experimenting with different, healthy, gutloads to use for houseflies, they are pretty picky about what they will eat contrary to popular belief!

This one I came up with seems to be the most nutritious and the flies love it

Base- Mashed peach or Apple
Monster Cricket- high calcium
Spirulina (makes it sickeningly green)
Bee Pollen ( When I dont add it it seems they eat more than when I do)
Honey

listed in order of the amount I put in.

house flys like to have cholesterol in their diet, and it is recomended if you are planing to continue propogation. powdered buttermilk is a good way to supply it. jmo
