I have about 600 black fly larvae in a Dmall plastic bin with organic soil and I had some veggies in there for them to
Munch. Well my boyfriend put a banana in there for them to eat and now it’s so gross, smells awful and there is fruit flies everywhere plus my dragon is eating these larvae that have been eating the bananas, is this bad? If so, how do I clean this up without losing all my larva? It’s so awful, is it healthy for my dragon to be eating these bugs that have been feeding on banana? Thanks!

The banana shouldn't cause harm but the fruit flies are annoying. I've had the best luck trapping them by putting some apple cider vinegar in a mason jar and setting up a paper cone in the top. It takes a while to get them all though. If you need to replace the rotting food, try filling the container with warm water and then strain the larvae off the top of the water and put them in a fresh bin.

It seems the banana is now gone, so it seems ok now. I might just add more compost and good for them. I’ve been using organic compost top soil and everything seemed fine, is that a good idea? Thanks

To also make sure it’s healthy for the dragon too! Thanks again!

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
