Hello everyone, this may sound like a stupid questionf or me ask. But, umm is it okay if I feed my healthiest VFT (that awoke from dormancy 2-3 weeks ago)
a live beetle that I just recently caught??? Or is it too early to feed and I should let the bug go?

I've been feeding mine alot, they'll be fine

Just don't overfeed, leave at least half of the traps open.

Lol nice Victor, I'm never hestitant to feed my traps. Of course I have suffered for it to an extent and had some traps die/become ugly, I usually feed the same trap over and over, so I don't have to have a lot of traps be ugly/dead

Looking for any drosera capensis via seed, pm me!
I'm interested in any sundews.
