How to feed bloodworms
 

Hey everyone, Got annother question here and this is for nepenthes....Well i have a lot of frozen cubed bloodworms and last time i wanted to feed my nepenthes with it using a toothpick to pick the bloodworms. I realized that the defrosted bloodworms and sticky so it sticks to the toothpick...So how leerrr....I should be common sense to solve this problem but my brains ain't working that well currently :)

Put the worm to defrost ner the Nepenthes, so it will defrost and it will be easier for you to put it in the Nepenthes!

dip the bloodworms in the liquid inside the pitcher will do:smile:

Ken,

Let the cube melt in some tiny bit of water. Use a stringe to deliver it into the pitcher. A little water won't kill the plant. Remember if you over feed you'll get smelly pitcher which attracts flies and your mother's wrath!

If we feed Nepenthes with bloodworms, it will help on ?

or cut the frozen bloodworms into small2 chuncks and throw the chucks into the pitcher....

LJ,
If you place already have ants and other insects, you don't need to hand feed the neps, they'll eventually catch their own "food" *biggrin2*
