How do you hatch flys?

[Bay687]

i just figured out the reason why my flys aren't hatching.. my crickets are getting to them before they hatch in the cage, what's a good place, to get them to hatch, without getting interfered with since i cant leave my room light on at all times, any ideas are a big help thanks

Put your pupae in a styrofoam or plastic cup with clingfilm over the top. peirce a few pinholes in the cling film, and make a pencil diameter hole in the side and put a bandaid over it.

Keep them warm and when they hatch, add the cup to the cage and remove the bandaid, the flys will exit a few at a time, or you can simply pull off the cling film inside the cage. That way crix wont get them before your animal does.
