Help!!! I didn’t get directions.

    Keep culture at 72 degrees F. I use a sandwich bag to shake out the flies into, seal quickly. Feed a small portion at a time depending on the size of your pet. The flies will crawl out of the pet's house fast if not eaten.

How many jars does this make? I get the one jar at the store for $10.99. Just curious if this is a much better deal.

      Some stores do stock these. CALL AHEAD to ensure they Have some.  I found quality is better than online ordering, but They go fast. Our mantis loved these!

    Are these supposed to be kept refrigerated so they don't all hatch in the first week?
