Suppliments on FF

[ian]

I know that all insects are low in calcium and there is need to suppliment them before feeding.

So do I need to suppliment them with calcium and vitamin? What suppliment did you use? And how?

I have asked the peoples in petstore, but they have no idea how to suppliment Fruit Flies. All they know is how to do it with Cricket.

Thanks,

Basically the same shake and bake method. Make sure that you use a balanced supplement.

But what is a balanced suppliment? I am totally new to this. thanks.

A supplement that has a calcium to phosphorus ratio between 1 and 2:1 (closer to 1.5 to 1 is good), contains a ratio of 10 to 1 to 0.1 of A to D3 to E.
