So i wanted to show my vft feeding to a friend. Went out got the smallest crickets i could get from closest pet store and fed a trap about 1 cm in size. The trap closed almost fully and seemed it knew it was in there. The cricket was a bit big for it and it took a few seconds for it to close, so now the trap has slightly opened showing a portion of the cricket.
Another friend wanted to see it feed as well and bugged me about it. There was another trap open about 3 mm and the trap itself was about 7mm. I cut 1/3 of the small cricket and fed it to the trap but my hand was just hangin in the air with no support. I managed to trigger the trap but flinched at the last moment and missed my landing.
I kinda regret it now as it wasnt as spectacular as i had hoped but im not worried i will just leave them for now and let them grow a lot more before i feed them again, that way i have a bigger landing space
. So to all the other new peeps with baby plants, maybe we just need to be more patient for good quality trap action.
