Wood Wool for Fruit Fly Culture – Essential Grip and Climbing Space

Are you setting up a new fruit fly culture in separate breeding pots? Then quality wood wool is absolutely essential! Wood wool plays a crucial role in fruit fly breeding: it provides the flies with the necessary structure to climb, prevents them from getting stuck in the culture medium, and offers a perfect surface for laying eggs and pupating larvae.

Exactly enough for one breeding pot

This bag contains precisely the right amount of wood wool for setting up **1 complete fruit fly culture** in our plastic breeding pots with ventilation lids.

How to use the wood wool?

• Step 1: Prepare the culture medium (sold separately) with lukewarm water until it forms a firm, non-liquid substance (comparable to thick yogurt).
• Step 2: Place this portion of wood wool on top of the prepared culture medium in the breeding pot.
• Step 3: Add at least 50 (flightless) fruit flies as a starting population.
• Step 4: Close the pot with a ventilation lid and place it in a comfortable, warm spot in your home.
