Also, they don't eat things in the traditional term. It'll catch an insect and it'll be in the trap for a while before one day you realize it's been digested. Don't try to sit and watch it eat something because you'll be there a LONG time. Also, you can't put a fly or insect in its trap and have it stay and be digested. My kids tried more than a dozen times and if it doesn't catch it itself,it'll crawl back out. :)

You absolutely CANNOT feed it chopped beef or shrimp. Processed foods will not be digested by the plant's enzymes and instead will stick around and rot the traps. Venus fly traps will capture sufficient flies on their own. Think about how small the plant is; it really doesn't need that much extra nutrition so you don't need to feed it. Nevertheless, it can be fun to do so but only with flies that you've caught and killed, not human food.

I don't think it will eat that. It'll close but it'll open back up again in a few minutes. If you feed it anything it's gotta be something that will struggle a little bit; that encourages the trap to stay closed. You can let it fend for itself, or get small ants or similar bugs and feed those to it.

Lol. U don't need to feed it persay. It attracts bugs you didn't know you had :) I live in alaska, it's winter and it's growing faster than ever. Inside and finding spiders.

I bought this for someone else and he said it worked very well. I am not sure about feeding one or several at a time.

You need to fill it. I used rice, but you can use sand, beans, rocks, steel shot or whatever you wish

I would get flakes or small pellets for little goldfish - my fish are pretty big! 6,7 8 inches long!

you can only feed it "pretend" milk. Regular milk will give it an upset tummy and it will spit it out so don't try it.

I would work with small kibbles. I am feeding large pellets to my KOI and they are about the same size as cat food.

Feed them bran cereal and some potato slices for water. The after a couple days put them in the refrigerator. That's what the seller told me.

I sprinkle it on his food and add water to it...he doesn't drink much water, so this is a good way for me to give it to him. I hope this helps.

The food that I'm using is very small and dry. It's feeding with out a problem. After the feeding two or three pieces of food might fall down. But I'm feeding berthed mallets amour that can be dispensed. So those two/three lil one after the feeding are a treat. :)

Assuming they're 8-10" across prob could get 12 if your planning on adding potatoes and corn. I did 5lbs of 15-20 ct shrimp plus 3lbs small red potatoes and 15 ears of corn cut in half and 10 big sausages That fit with room for more. I was only 1/2 way full! But dungenous crabs are bulky not sure what else your adding but may want to cook corn separately if your adding them

I recently read to my surprise that dwarf hamsters eat less seeds and grains than Syrians and more herbs and greens. So I think this timothy-based Oxbow diet would be an excellent addition. They now sell it at PetSmart in Northern Utah. However, I would mix it with "Kaytee" brand "Rat, mouse and hamster Pro-Health Forti-Diet (blocks)". Make the changes gradually over atleast 10 days. I occaisionally give my new Winter-White a single raw sunflower seed as a treat but if your hamster already has diabetes then I would only give things like fresh dandelion leaves and flowers as well and orchard grass hay or timothy hay as treats. You could also order some orchard grass seed and grow your own fresh in a pot for the hamster to graze on. Just never buy a Campbells'/Winter-White hybrid again. BTW: My adult Syrians like the Oxbow Handfuls but I mix it with the blocks.

I have guppies and red cherry shrimp. This is marketed as a betta tank but u can put other fish provided you follow the "1 inch of fish per gallon of water" guideline.

I have one of these CPO crayfish in a tank with a Betta, 2 small fish, corrie catfish, 2 snails, and african dwarf frog. I have no real problems after 2 months. This Mexican crayfish is way too small to eat even my tiniest snail (about 1/2").

A feeder like the previous poster mentioned. They also come in metal. Buy the plastic jar mentioned on that page and fill it with food. It screws into the base. Same with the water (with the base for water). With the metal base I was able to use a mason jar- just fyi.

That depends on what type of fish you'll be using. Straight up brine shrimp is something I used for mbuna and peacock cichlids as a protein treat. I mainly used them for fry though. I feed my adult africans the frozen cubes of spirulina and brine shrimp by hikari about once per week with a pelleted food as a staple.

I doubt it, but I don't know what type of turtles you have. I'm certain my Red Eared Sliders would eat them as my RES try to eat everything in the tank (even the sand). Although, I've been able to keep alive with my RES some tinfoil barbs, and a pleco, but they were with the turtles as babies and are all large now. These crayfish are bite size to a turtle, and an expensive meal. I even have a food that includes dried shrimp in it that are about size of mini crayfish.

Most likely not good tank mates, Comet goldfish get quite large, and Koi get even larger, unless they have many hiding places these little shrimp would probably become a meal. These shrimp are best kept with smaller tank mates, tetras (not buenos aires tetras) guppies, etc. or in a tank all by themselves
