Default Drosera Food: Bloodworms

I was taking a look at my sundews recently; After flowering four times in a row, some of my capensis weren't looking so good, and my adelae, despite being so easy to propagate, never seem to make it past a 3 in diameter. Since feeding is generally considered more important for droseras, and mine haven't really caught much recently, I went and bought some freeze-dried blood-worms for them for the first time.

I was impressed with the response the capensis had to feeding. This is one of the smaller ones, just to show how drastic the curling is on some of the leaves...





It's too early yet to tell how this will affect growth, but I have high hopes.

Anyone want to share their experiences feeding their plants with bloodworms?
