Wood wool

Wood wool – The perfect base for your Drosophila breeding

Wood wool is a small detail with a big impact. In the Drosophila breeding it provides structure in the breeding cup and thus significantly improves the conditions.

The fine wood fibers create additional surface on which the flies can move. As a result, the animals are better distributed in the cup, while stress is reduced at the same time.

👉 The result: more stable crops and better propagation.

Perfect as a running surface in the breeding cup

A breeding batch often lacks structure. This is exactly where wood wool comes into play.

It serves as a treadon which the flies sit, walk and orient themselves. At the same time, it prevents animals from sticking to the moist substrate.

In combination with a matching rearing cup this creates a well thought-out system that is much easier to use in everyday life.

Natural and untreated

The wood wool on offer is untreated and therefore completely harmless for breeding.

This means you can use them without hesitation, without residues or undesirable influences on your crops.

Application in the setup

The application is simple and effective:

• Prepare the mash as usual
• Add a small amount of wood wool to the breeding cup
• Distribute evenly

The flies use the structure immediately and this improves the overall dynamics in the cup.

Advantages at a glance

• Improves the structure in the breeding cup
• Serves as running surface for Drosophila
• Reduces stress and losses
• Untreated and safe
• Easy to use

Suitable accessories for your setup

We recommend the following combination for successful Drosophila breeding:

• Cultivation boxes with gauze in the lid – ideal for clean and safe cultures
• Feeding hatch for BraPlast cans – makes feeding and working easier
• Drosophila instant mix – ensures a problem-free breeding mash
• Drosophila (large / small) – as starter culture
• MiteEx – for mite-free breeding

This combination ensures an efficient, clean and long-lasting breeding system.

Conclusion

Wood wool is an inconspicuous but essential accessory for Drosophila breeding. It improves the structure, facilitates handling and ensures more stable cultures.

If you want to make your breeding simpler, cleaner and more successful you definitely need wood wool.
