As a vegan, and a fly trap grower (only a few so far) this was fun and fascinating!

Ah come on man, pieces couldve been smaller hahah so none are sticking out. Wouldn't that mess up the trap itself if it doesn't close all the way? Did you label all the flytraps with the food you gave? I want to see updates!!!! This is interesting 🤔🤓

Yes, this was an interesting experiment! And yeah, I got to work on my feeding skills. I'll post a follow-up video in a month. One of the traps with Oreo recently opened up. Stay tuned!

Along with peas, maybe try honey as well. Maybe they recognize the honey as food from eating bugs that eat nectar.

My venus fly trap caught a slug! I think it killed the trap, but the slug came out worse.

10:20 I had 2 baby racoons & mom come by my front yard CP pool this year. She looked like she was trying to teach them to wash up in the water & they proceeded to eat all the Sarracenia's pitchers that had bugs & uprooted a VFT & a few Sar's. Mom loitered for around 5 minuets before leaving & they took off after her. All the roots/rhizomes were intact, so no casualties. I also have rats running through & occasionally testing plants in my backyard pools. Might have been rats instead of mice, but it's hard to tell by the marks.

Interested in experiment. It sounds like broccoli was compatible with the fly trap. What's not mentioned is whether any spurts in growth occurred.

Thank you for watching. Unfortunately, VFTs don't grow well in coco coir. It's not acidic enough and it breaks down too quickly.

I'm not surprised that the VFTs had trouble with the chunks of pseudomeat that you stuffed into them. They probably wouldn't do well if you stuffed them with the largest possible insects that could fit into their traps, either. Last year, I tried VFTs with tofu, whey protein, and textured vegetable protein. *Small* amounts, only a bit larger than the protein equivalents that I estimated from insects of a size that they could trap. The one on whey protein did okay, the one with textured vegetable protein did a bit better, and the one I gave tofu did amazingly well. It went from a small plant to a large one, and flowered. Now I'm waiting for its seeds to grow, so I can have a reasonable comparison based on multiple plants. I did find that traps would die if I gave them too much food, but I figured that as long as they got more nutrition out of a feeding than the resources they expended, and had lots of sunlight, they were coming out ahead.

I totally concur, the same with idiotic vegan pet owners trying to turn their dogs/ cats into vegans. Their whole digestive system has evolved to be carnivorous. I consider this kind of thing to be a form of abuse.

They have special enzymes to digest the chitin in the insect. This makes no sense. They are evolved to process insect protein
