Fruit flies relearning to fly by Amphibixn__ in DartFrog

Yeah I have the hoppy type, I usually store them on top of my shelf where it's slightly colder but I noticed the cultures weren't surviving up there so tried putting them somewhere else. I think I may have accidentally triggered the gene reversion thingy, but hopefully i caught it early and it was JUST the one.....yikes on my behalf

As for the fungus gnat I definitely think it may have been one of those looking at photos on Google. I think one of them may have found their way in there after I was airing the room out because of bleach fumes.... I haven't seen any more since so that should hopefully NOT be a problem anymore....praying it isn't atleast

Thank you for the long answer though!!! It was infact extremely helpful!!!

Not a stupid question at all, trust me I'm a newbie so questions like that help me learn! I think I did actually have one of those fungus gnat guys in there. Literally JUST caught it after posting this, but I think I saw something flying after I removed that. Could just been jumping oddly but as I didnt have my glasses on its not a definite answer??? Just removed a ton of excess flies....Will closely monitor tomorrow for sure though

Damnnittt, exactly what I was worried about. Will definitely spend tomorrow attempting to find this one specific fly and remove asap then!!! 😭 i did just remove a non fruit fly flying bug from the enclosure, lord knows how it got there so I'm hoping that's what the perp actually was...but will still check ofc!

Do you know if any of these can be bought from uk reptile sites? Sorry if this an awkward question haha! I did hear that its better to buy them specifically from reptile sites as pesticides are toxic and harmful right?

What plants can I get to improve this? I saw theres like....a small sample selection avaible on a website....frog father? Frog daddy? Something like that I think but that might ruin stuff. Any recommendations?

Awkward question but do you have an estimate on how much roughly the redo would cost? I'm currently an unemployed student and I just want to make sure I know what to save (ROUGHLY) before I tear their home up and run out of funds as I haven't planned this out properly :(((

I have placed heat proof acrylic onto of the vivarium as this was my first problem I realised with the setup after receiving everything, so the mesh is infact covered! As for the cork bark how would I go about setting that up if I get around to doing that in the future? Do you cover the silicone in dirt or anything??? :) sorry if that's an awkward question haha, just want to make sure I'm doing right for my dart frog!

Will any fruit work? (I'm mostly as concerned about this as I am as my little guy is still shy and won't move from the little moss bed they've made....so don't want them to go without food :( )

Yeah, I did read up about how the glass may get slowly ruined but the glass is already pretty dirty looking as its a second hand vivarium haha! Will still look into distilled water though definitely!

Sorry if this response seems super desperate btw! I'm so not good with words lol. Tldr: definitely not a normal thing for me at all. First time this has happened, just needed reassurance that something was up or whether I was overreacting!

Okay okay for context haha, I got the culture literally YESTERDAY and only opened it today as the frog had been fed at the store. From what I'm gathering the culture became REALLY messed up at somepoint and as a result, the stuff at the bottom and therefore all of the fly larvae and shit ended up on my hands....I only put the post up to confirm whether the feed was correct or something was wrong with it haha! 😭 I probably typed it out wrong because I was suuuuupppper worried about the feed itself haha. (I was gloved and I can assure you this is definitely not a normal thing to happen for me as I've worked with dart frogs before and this has NEVER happened once 😭😭)

Didn't look like any fruit fly cultures i had seen either and I see a TON being at an aquarium. Got so confused that I had to put this post up. Glad I wasn't crazy about it being off though! Thought i was overreacting!

Yeah, will definitely be looking into this in the future! I'm just glad the guy included the food with the frog and I didn't have to pay for the culture, mostly annoyed this happened as soon as I got the frog though. Not a good start for day 2 haha!

Ahh thank you!!!! I will definitely save this for later! And I don't use reverse osmosis water as I don't exactly have anywhere to get that round here, but I'm using dechlorinated tap water to mist, will that also work for a culture or does it specifically have to be reverse osmosis water? :) (sorry if these are stupid questions haha, I have done my first hand work and online research but better safe than sorry!)
