Did a quick tutorial seeing as there's not a lot of info out there, plus needed to test out a new memory card. Piss poor video quality but hey ho.
Basically i moved the female into this tub when she started carrying the eggsack around and tearing at it. Separated her from the sack and put her back in own enclosure.
Substrate is cocofibre with plenty of sphagnum moss and heavily live planted for humidity and good air quality. Air holes drilled in the side and a hole in the lid filled with sponge for easy access when feeding and spraying.
I take out the sponge and put in the funnel and just whack a tonne of flightless fruit flies in straight away, but here im using wild flying D.melongastor i had kept in the fridge to slow them down a bit (was running low on FF).
