CATDOLL : CATDOLL: If you raise flies, what kind of food will they eat to digest easily? (If you raise flies, what kind of food will they eat to digest easily?)

1. Do flies prefer sweet or salty food?

Because flies like to eat liquid food rich in water. If possible, the favorite food of flies is sugar water. Because the mouthparts of flies are licking and sucking mouthparts, they need to spit out digestive juices from their mouths to break down the food into liquid before eating. The reason why we see many flies eating feces is mainly because there are generally not many flies in places with delicious food, and flies have no way to get better food, so they have to condescend to eat feces. The most important thing is that you don’t have to worry about being swatted to death by a fly swatter when eating this. ^_^ However, if feces and watermelon rind are put together, flies will of course choose watermelon rind, because it is said to taste good.

2. What do flies usually like to eat?

Flies like to eat sweets or carrion, such as aphid flies and parasitic flies that like to visit flowers to suck nectar; fruit flies and fruit flies that like to eat fruits or carrion; blow flies, house flies and flesh flies prefer carrion and feces.

The thick, trunk-like licking mouthparts are the weapon that most flies use to lick liquid food. Before eating, many flies will secrete digestive juices to dissolve the nutrients in the food before absorbing it.

Flies have a very sensitive sense of smell and a varied diet, they like fragrant, sweet, fishy and smelly foods. They especially like all kinds of rotten organic matter and fermented products, and will even eat phlegm, pus, blood and sweat.

3. What do flies eat?

When raising flies, people usually feed them some milk or animal offal. These things can be placed in places where flies gather and become good feed, allowing the flies to quickly turn into pupae.

4. Why do flies like poop?

Feces are semi-digested food and contain a lot of bacteria. Flies can only eat liquid food with their mouthparts. Fly saliva has digestive function, and it can achieve twice the result with half the effort for these semi-digested food. At the same time, feces can also provide food for fly larvae and is a good place for flies to lay eggs. There are many reasons why flies like feces.

5. What should you feed adult red-headed flies when breeding them?

Feeding forest frogs with red-headed fly maggots is easier to digest than feeding with housefly maggots, but there are also maggot skins digested by animals in the feces. At the same time, its feed requirements are high. Raising red-headed flies with wheat bran generally requires adding pig blood and other substances to supplement nutrition, which is a test for the epidemic prevention of frog farms. Pig blood and animal viscera carry a lot of bacteria, and the produced fly maggots will also carry a lot of bacteria and are very complicated.

The temperature requirement of breeding flies is higher than that of small house flies. For the Northeast region, breeding fly breeding rooms need to be heated even in summer. The quality of fly maggots is good and they are relatively easy to digest when fed to animals. When maggots of small house flies (engineering flies) are used to feed eels and forest frogs, a large number of maggot skins that have not been digested by animals can often be seen in the breeding ponds. However, this is not the case when feeding maggots produced by red-headed flies, which can be completely digested by animals.

6. What is the favorite food of flies?

Flies' favorite food is feces juice.

Flies are an animal of the family Muscidae in the order Diptera. They are distributed all over the world. Although the life span of flies is only about one month, their reproductive capacity is amazing. Their diet is very complex and they are omnivorous flies. They can feed on a variety of substances, including human food, secretions and excretions of humans and livestock, kitchen scraps and other garbage, and plant juices.
