I believe I read on here that some people crush up betta pellets and feed them to their sundew. Is that accurate? I have some hikari betta gold pellets, can I crush them up and feed them?

Yes, that's correct, i do it alot, just crush ut up, and sprinkle it on, but not too much, or it could burn the leaves

I do the same, and it does works, it definitely speeds up grow, but it has to be very very crush, it has to be powder ok!
i agree that big pellets(even thought they're small) they burn the leafs, specially with drosera spatulata, which seems not to like it a lot.
Good luck!
