Flightless Fruitlies

[DalilahBlue]

What do you guys think of feeling tiny slings fruit flies? How many?

A local chain offers a self contained jar the has everything about 500 flies need including food, water, etc. Ever used these?

fruitFlies are fine although I don't use em( I prefer pinheads). As a general rule I never feed more than 1 of anything at a time.

 

[DalilahBlue]

Awesome. Thank you for the info. Just trying to figure out what will be easiest to feed a few little slings.

 

[Nada]

you can also cut up larger cickets. Slings have no problem taking parts.

 

[DalilahBlue]

I may try that as well. I didn't realize they would willingly take bits of critters.

 

[Nada]

I'm still a big fan of pinheads. easy to breed too.
What are you officially ordering?

 

[DalilahBlue]

A.geniculata, A.seemanni, B.vagans, P.cancerides, P. murinus are likely.

 

[Nada]

No Arboreals?
5 great Ts!

 

[DalilahBlue]

Going to wait on the arboreals for now. But I do want them.

 

[DalilahBlue]

The hubby originally said I could order 4, but I really want these guys, so I may have to drop one. Since I am in school and he's buying the crickets I kinda have to listen to him...of course one could just "accidently" show up...

 

[Nada]

who are you ordering from? maybe they give freebies.

 

[DalilahBlue]

Swifts. And 2 of the ones I want are freebie types. For whatever reason he is stuck on 4...

 

[Nada]

just tell him it'll be forever before the seemani, and vagans, get any size to them. Maybe that will help..?

 

[DalilahBlue]

heh, maybe....what do you think of L. parahybana?

 

[Nada]

L.Parahybana is about as good a bang for your buck as you can get.
Affordable, grow quickly, get huge, not to much attitude, never hide. just Awesome!!!

A.geniculata, A.seemanni, B.vagans, P.cancerides, P. murinus are likely.

great choices prepare to fall in love

 

[DalilahBlue]

I am so torn!!!! I like big. I want fairly visible at this point. I need guys who do not have crazy humidity and temp needs at this stage in the game. And I like personality.

 

[DalilahBlue]

I got him to agree to 5! So he wants B. vagans. That means I have to pick four from A.geniculata, A.seemanni, P.cancerides, P. murinus, and L. parahybana. Help!

 

[Nada]

here's my preference.
1. Parahybana
2. Geniculata
3. Cancerides
4. Murinus
5. Seemani.

Definitely get the parahybana.

 

[DalilahBlue]

Well, since the hubster wants a B. vagans the seemani is out this round.
