Black Soldier Fly Breeding

[roboboy542]

Hi, I'm looking for a guide to breed black soldier flies on a small scale (I just want something for one dragon). And I would appreciate if someone could redirect me to a guide to learn how to breed BSF, or can just explain in this forum. By the way, I'm going to feed him the larvae, not the fly. Thanks in advance.

There are plenty of DIY guides (look for sure biopod, bsfl culture etc). They are popular with homesteaders and chicken farmers.

If you aren’t raising a lot of them a smallish tub with some dirt in the bottom, holes in the sides (to let flies in) and cardboard on the lid (for eggs) should be fine. My setup runs well and is more than enough for one dragon but being in the northern part of their range I need to stock it in the spring.
