I've got some nepenthes that sprouted in February. One pitcher opened up recently. Are these fish food pellets safe ?

I'll crush them. Or should I go out and get beta flakes?

You're going to find it impossible to feed pitchers at that size. You'd have to use a liquid fertilizer as a foliar or root feed, or let springtails do the job for you.

Concerning Blood worms... are these safe ? [EDIT: For when the pitchers get bigger]

I'm not sure why you are so determined to feed that small of a plant. But since you are I'll give you my insight on how this is going to go down. You're going to go through the trouble of finding and preparing a meal for it. Then when you go to feed it, you're going to uproot the plant and kill it.

I've fed a multitude of different plants in different manners, and I wouldn't even think about attempting to feed something that small.

It's your plant though, so shovel it in there
