Blowfly maggots?

[Craig52]

Ok I've got my flybox running well now with millions of flies and maggots being produced. I would like to be able to separate the maggots from the bran mixture and put them in a fresh container of pollard to clean them up more and to reduce any chance of fungus/mould consumption. The quails keep eating the bran and i don't feel comfortable with it. I've read that somehow some people use a hair drier. I tried it but just kept mixing the bran into the maggots again. Does anyone do this and how?

Try putting them through a small gauge 2mm sieve to remove the old bran then drop them into the fresh and refrigerate to go dormant. A bit of old bran mixed in won't hurt. Craig

Rob what i do is gather up the left over cucumber segments that still have a little on them and place in the maggot box. after about 15mins the maggots really go for them. you can harvast heaps of cleans ones at a time to be placed in clean pollard.Repeat and you should get most of them.
