Hello beautiful people! Quick question, can you feed a Sundew freeze dried bloodworms? Been searching on Google all day and haven't been able to pin down anything concrete. All suggestions welcome.

Love and Light,

Yep. People feed FDBW in apparently all kinds of ways...ground up in a dry powder...whole dehydrated straight out of the can...rehydrated whole or powdered...etc.,. I think I like the powdered dry method the best...it seemed to work the best for me. Other folks have their preferred ways. Another good food source is BettaMin Mini Pellets...people feed them in different ways, too.

I take the baby bird approach to feeding freeze dried blood worms.
I dump the entire can into my mouth, takes swig of distilled water, chew it all up into a homogeneous paste, and spit it out onto my plants.
Unfortunately, only a small amount actually makes it onto my plants, with the majority going all over my grow area, but I have fun while doing it.
(None of the above is true, please do not attempt this at any time)

Everything happens for a reason. Sometimes the reason is that I make bad decisions.

If you haven't ever used FDBW before, just be aware that some people have strong allergic reactions to them.

...I had some comments for this, but to be a nice guy I'm keeping them to myself.
