I don't know what you're already doing for them so I can't say whether they're already at their max growth rate, but generally the way to accelerate them is more light and more food! They look big enough to handle springtails and sugar ants. People also use blood worms or small amounts of diluted foliar fertilizer for feeding.

If all other growing conditions are good, feed the traps tiny pieces of freeze dried bloodworms. Remember to stimulate the traps. I would use toothpicks to ensure the traps close and start the digestion process. The growth is accelerated significantly
