So my parents hate me having FFs in my room, the smell can be pretty bad i admit. so i was thinking about putting them in my garage.
Now i know the temperature would slow the hatch rate right down but i was thinking about getting a polystyrene box with a heat mat in the bottom, fill the box up with vermiculite or something then place the jars of fruit flys in the vermiculite.
Now the only problem i can see with this is that the box would obviously have the polystyrene lid on it to keep the heat in. Do light levels affect fruit fly reproduction?
Any comments?
Thanks
