[QUOTE="ceojac, post: 344633, member: 12653"] You'll want to clean their droppings out every other week. Substrate can extend that cleaning time by a little, just keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn't get gross. Paper towels are quite easy to take out and replace for cleaning, they are probably the most convenient thing you can use but you still have to replace them regularly. They will do fine with feeding every 2-3 days. If you are struggling to find fruit flies, I know that the Petco's and Petsmarts near me carry cultures. I wouldn't rely on them though, they usually don't last long as the colonies die out quick but they are good for backup feeders. You may be able to purchase the materials for a fruit fly culture yourself (deli cup, excelsior, fruit fly media) and start your own longer lasting fruit fly culture. [/QUOTE]
