Great article!! I am going to give this a try.
I have 3 very small Gray Tree froglets who's main diet is fruit flies. The cultures I have been ordering aren't lasting very long, have very low number from the get go and/or take some time arriving.
There have been too many between times they go without, either because I am waiting so long to get them or the culture I have just dies abruptly. I think culturing my own maybe my best option.
Thanks again for the info, it seems simple and inexpensive.
Cinnamon can be used, along with mixing it with 50/50 vinegar and water instead of using methyl paraben. I don't like to use anything thats not natural. Usually the cinnamon alone will deter any mold growing
