I fed one of my traps a fairly large crickrt and i saw an outline of it in its mouth. but then i woke up this mornin an the trap was halfway black. wut should i do? did i overfeed it?
Welcome to the forums dude. At last you've learnt to live - in the dangerous world of cps...!
How big was the criket and how big was the trap? I heard some1 say that you shouldn't feed anything over a third the trap size, unless your VFT is healthy. Well mine seem to do fine...*hint hint*
Hmmm, mine traps turning black but maybe that's becuz the STUPID insect bit a hole in my biggest trap!!! Grrr
Never seen an insect fight back b4, always assumed they're small helpless creatures with a life to give away to my CPs mwhahahha. 'please don't quote the bible, I was just kidding...Oh well...this is WAR! Oh, uhm, sorry, I'm getting worked up here, I like getting worked up - adrenaline rush...the criket was actually bitingat the teeth of the trap!
Got its head out but I poked it back in with a dropper, hehe poke poke prod...is there any apparent sign that your VFT's trap is trying hard to 'swallow' the prey, like did it fully close round it, is it drooling disgestive juices etc? The you may have overfed it...man I'm never gonna feed
my VFT any insects with such HUGE fangs no more. I mean for an insect...
