Flies

Trying to give my newts a wide variety of food I also give my newts fly larvae.

Last time I let my larvae hatch and I have now flies. I tried feeding them to my pleuros (they are to big for my cynops orient.) At first they didn't show any interest as it always is with new food and even later when they tried it they spit it back out.

I left the flies in the tank and during the night they must been eaten after all as they are nowhere to be found.

Question: are flies a good, healthy meal for my pleuros? I can cover them in extra vitamins, no problem. But the latter I can do with anything they eat

tnx for sharing ur opinion

I don't feed adult flies to caudates much, but I do to anurans. I dust with calcium/vitamin supplement, but I also feed the flies on milk/honey/water mixture before use which improves their nutritional value somewhat. Just leave them with a little of the mix in a shallow cap for 8-24 hours before use.
