I have got my fly box producing many more maggots that I seem to be able to use.I feed them maggots twice a day, I'm not sure if you can overfeed them
but they line up each time I put them in the food tray and they are all eaten each time.At the moment I keep the hatched maggots in a container on
top of the fly box to keep them warm and they start to pupae long before I finish them.
Are there any ways of slowing down their growth? I tried freezing some but they just seemed to shrivel up.

Cheers Greg.

Keep them in the fridge to slow them done.Works for me.

I normally get about two weeks in the fridge from the ones I buy from arcade.
Wish you lived near me I would buy your excess to help pay with costs
