Hi guys!
I've been trying to hatch some crickets out of eggs that have been laid by my adults, they've been kept warm and wet in a critter keeper that's had tinfoil and a pair of stockings over the holes to prevent any escapees.
I just opened up the box and about 10 tiny little flies came out! NOT what I wanted to find, or have loose about my house.
Is this batch of eggs worth scrapping and starting over? Or is there something I need to do with my keeping that will help get rid the flies? I'm wondering if restricting the air flow as much as I have has caused problems - I was trying to keep the humidity up.
