What am I doing wrong? FF's

[poison beauties]

You can cool them with a fan but it will kill the humidity and dry the cultures early. Lighting isnt an issue unless your trying to promote the buildup of carotene in them for vitA production. Many keep their FF in the dark as they do normally produce a little better.

Ok. I keep them on a plastic bread rack you would see at a grocery store. I have been thinking of pouting it in the closet. I may try that.

Also depends on the species - hydei do better at higher temps than melanogaster. In high summer I find the melanogaster dont do as well because of the heat. You shouldnt be using external heat sources - flies will breed quite happily at room temperatures

Also sounds like you just need to keep the room cooler. The frogs shouldn't be kept in the 90s either.
