[QUOTE="Ilovemybirdies, post: 340637, member: 12103"] My fruit fly culture for nymphs is getting kiinda smelly, and I’d like to move away from using them if possible. I know some species only catch flying prey, but currently only have Chinese mantis nymphs (they’re very aggressive feeders!) does anyone have any alternate feeders for nymphs that are easy to culture? I was thinking of dwarf white isopods (softer bodies isopods, and tiny) or baby mealworms, but have heard mealworms are fatty and lots of chitin isn’t good. thoughts or suggestions? thanks! [/QUOTE]
