I saw this Fruit Fly Links Obesity and Heart Disease - Softpedia and thought that if you increase the calories in the fruit fly media with fat, you could make them a treat for frogs that are going to lay eggs or to stimulate reproduction on females.
Again this is just a thought, I just saw this and really dont know if it would be a good idea.
I did an experiment to see if I would get the same fruit fly production by adding a teaspoon of olive oil to the media when I was preparing it and looks ok. I think Im getting close to same or same production and I also noticed that the media decomposes or gets consumed a little slower. The fruit flies seem to look the same, not bigger, not smaller, but the fat content on them could have increased, but I dont have any equipment to measure that.
What do you think? Its a good idea or its just a waste of time and could harm my frogs?
