Fruit fly cultures need to be kept humid or the food in the bottom will dry out. You can spray down the culture with dechlorinated water (like Arrowhead) to keep it moist if needed.
Your culture needs to be kept between 70 and 80° for optimal breeding. If your culture gets to warm (even for a short while) your flies will become sterile. If your culture gets too cool, they will breed very slowly; if too cold the flies will die.
Mold can occur in cultures if they are stored or opened near air conditioners, it is best to order a new culture if yours becomes moldy though feeding your animals the flies in the culture with mold won't hurt your animals.
