I don;t know if it's super-sanitary, it's hard to catch enough flies to be able to rear them anyway. Order them from a feeder and they will be guaranteed healthy, and probably in better condition to breed (i.e. produce larger, healthier offspring).

Search flies feeder on google and you might find somehting, or just laook around your favourite feeder sites, they should have some flies.

yeah, it's not worth the risk. Skipio's and Kammerflage both sell fly pupa and/or larva
