[QUOTE="agent A, post: 347327, member: 2948"] ok folks, so I think I've cracked the code on rearing bottleflies indoors without stinking up the place 1: I have them in a grow tent 2: I add food in very slowly. A few ounces of wet dog food at a time. There have been no complaints of a bad odor! I have a big sleeve net cube with the adults in it. I provide water, nectar I make, bee pollen, and crested gecko diet for them about 2 weeks into adulthood, adults start ovipositing in the crestie food. Then, I move this to a bowl within a net cage that has a few spoonfuls of chicken or liver based wet dog food. I add more as they use it up. They leave the bowl and pupate in the net cage. I will get some pics of this tomorrow! [/QUOTE]
