Keeping fruit flies contained
Hi John ~
When I feed FF to hatchling mourning geckos I cover the tank with a lightweight cloth and then replace the screen top.
Mist the tank gently prior to adding the FF.
Some people use a lid of baby food to attract the FF.

I have been feeding my phelsuma laticauda babies with micro pinheads but, sometimes I can't get them small enough, so the fruit flies sound like a good option.
Thank you,
John
