·First I want to thank Randy of Fruit Fly Specialties for the idea of feeding fly larval out of these cups.
I was thinking about how I was going to feed my frogs when I leave for a trip. After using mason jars with a mesh lid for previous trips and seeing Randy's cup I combined the two ideas. Here are a few pics:
This is just the normal cup. I use it to make a small fly culture and cut a hole in the lid to add a foam plug.
After about 10 days larva are crawling all over, and trying to climb through the foam. I remove the foam plug and snap a mesh into the lid.
This allows fly and larva to crawl out, and stops the frogs from getting into the media.
Because I have a mister, I set the cup on it's side and place a cocohut over the hole thing. I have larval crawling out and onto the coco hut so fast even my azureus pair can't keep up. I think this will be the first time I leave on a trip and the frogs gain weight, lol
