New Fruit flies in die almost overnight
I’m no beginner—I’ve been making new fruit fly cultures for about two years now with no problems. However, starting in June of this year, every single new fruit fly culture I’ve made has died.
I’m buying buying fruit fly cultures, waiting until enough fruit flies have been born and start making new cultures the fruit flies start dying within a bit even a day. I’ve been using Josh’s Frogs fruit fly media for about two years without any problems, so I thought maybe I had gotten a bad batch. I bought another bag of fruit fly media, but I have the same problem.
I even started making my own fruit fly media, and I’m still having the same issue. I thought maybe the weather could be the problem since it’s been extremely hot in Florida this year.
At this point, I don’t know what to do. I’ve never had this problem before, and it’s happening with every new culture I make.
