VFT Food Selections

Thanks, Spy

Winged insects would be my preferred prey also. Hard to catch flies though.

I think I'll stick to whatever I can find in the yard or around the house. No sense in spending money on bugs from the store with my current collection.

They seem to like the earthworms I have in the fridge from fishing cut into chunks. Might as well use up some of those. Like you said they should be 100% digestible and they're pure protein and no fat. I've made a lot of horned and pixie froglets very big very fast with crawlers and leafworms as their primary food. :)

I've seen the toe skin thing online. Pretty damn disgusting, LOL. But hey- it's for scientific purposes...

When I feed my neps a couple earthworms, they kill off the top half of the pitcher a little sooner so they must be seriously nutritious for the plants methinks, when I fed crickets, it never did that. So I restrict it to one worm instead of two every couple weeks and I do fine.

Real men feed their plants flaming hot cheetoes though. I had an odd craving for them in class today...
