VFTs don't need to be fed to live. They photosynthesize food just like any other plant. Bugs are like little bits of fertilizer for the VFT and provide nutrients that are not found in sufficient amounts in the soil where they grow.
Here are a few links to Barry's site pertaining to feeding VFT. If you have time, read all his VFT Faq pages. They have the unique combination of being informative and interesting.
