i just got a big tub because i need food like now. and when i got it there were no flys. maggots where completely dried out aswell as the media. does anyone have some suggestions... this is seriously disappointing i need food asap

 
Are you sure that they aren't pupae? Did you buy a producing culture? Those are slightly more expensive.

the one i have been getting are from petco but one of the viles turned out to be bad. the other is just not producing fast enough, im going to go get another from petco because its needed.but they are so small and go quite quickly. so i ordered a bigger producing culture, and it is completely dry. it says if ist dry to go ahead a spray it, but that was the whole point of getting a producing culture. now i have to wait like 5 weeks for this one to start. buy then my lil guys will be big enough for bigger prey.

they dont look lke pupae to me, it just looks lke maggots that have dried out. like i said i do have a small vile culture going and that one is doing fine but it is way too small

 
Call Josh and complain, he will usually replace them. What species are you in need of right now melanogaster or hydei?

 
i ordered hydei, but either will do i suppose. all my ghosts are L3 so i think the others will work too

thanks ill give them a call i guess

 
so i just double checked my email. and i most definitely ordered a culture that should have already been producing.

Mantispets is probably more reliable about fruit flies than Josh's Frogs.

that is more than awesome of you to do. as of now i have to go buy a small vile, im going to add a bunch of the flies to the media i got and see if anything happens. i already added the one from the vile that is doing great. if things dont work out ill buy some from you if you are willing to sell them

 
No need to buy them, I offered them free, I have cultures made weekly, usually making 50 a week! I have a lot of tiny mouths to feed. If they are not sold on my site, I just use all the flies in a new culture.
