bigphil1984 Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 Hi everyone, do you have to rehydrate the bloodworms before feeding to sundews, like you do with flytraps, or can you give it to them dry??

Gaz Posted August 6, 2017 Report Share Posted August 6, 2017 Hi Phil, when I tried this I rehydrated them first but I soon gave up as I didn't notice any improvement in the health of my plants over not manually feeding. Must say though that mine are all in the greenhouse and manage to catch at least a few flies even this year when there seems to be less than normal. I found it quickly became a chore, especially as the collection grew. I've also tried fruit flies and baby crickets (when I kept a couple of Neps) but soon got bored with the whole idea and now I just let nature take its course. If yours are all indoors and you really want/need to feed them then wingless fruit flies might be worth a go if the cost isn't prohibitive. My wife's chickens loved the crickets and i could send you a bag of chicken poo if you're struggling to attract enough flies naturally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
