Venus Fly Trap Food


Question Posted Thursday October 13 2011, 8:30 pm

I recently got a Venus fly trap plant and it's super small. So the chances of a bug going into it is very slim even if it does attract bug. So I fed a dried up bug that I would to it but it open back up with the bug still in it a day later. I just killed a bug in the bathroom a couple minutes ago and fed it to it so hopefully it will eat it even if it is a little squished. So is there a special way I can feed it when it's indoors like over the winter? Any funky concoction? ;) Thanks

I don't know about dried bugs, but I do know that Venus fly traps actually only eat something if it moves...so maybe move the bug around a little with a toothpick or something and hopefully, it should eat. That's how it knows that something is there apparently.

Hope I Helped :)

DONT EVER GIVE DRY BUGS.
It kills em.

You can give them REALLY SMALL parts of worms (let em dry for 1 day)

You can give ants... or any bug. (with some blood you know :) )
