I looked through the forum and could not find an answer to these questions:
How do you start a FF culture. I know about the medium and I have read that for making new ones, you take flies from the existing culture, but where do you get the first ones from, and how are they "wingless"? I have seen a little kit thing at Petsmart, just add water or something, and you get wingless fruitflies.
Second, are escaping fruitflies a big problem, or if you have the right container is it not a problem? What do you put your cultures in?
Sorry if these questions have been answered before.
Thanks!
