Hi,

I am wanting to attempt to produce my own live food and a lot of articles I read refer to mealworms, termites and maggots. Mealworms I can buy, termites I'm not sure about how to obtainbut maggots sound like an option. Can anyone advise me on how to go about breeding maggots at home in the Canberra environment. What do people do for termite sources?

I did a bit of a blurb/photo story on termites and maggots which might help.
