I just got a flytrap the other day from the store and fed some of the traps some bugs. However my genius husband thought he was being real smart and took a small amount of chicken that he had and put it in one of the trap mouths and of course it clamped down on it to eat it. My question is, as long as I don't do this again, what is the likelihood of the thing surviving that? I know you’re not supposed to feed the flytrap real meat.

I dont know how much ur supposed to feed it. I read somewhere you're supposed to feed it like once a week basically, and that they should eat on an average of 3 flies a month or something like that, so obviously not much. and if a trap is not closed, I'm pretty sure its not eating. tickle the inside of the mouth for it to close properly. yeah, you’re supposed to cut off the dead traps… I dont know how much ur supposed to feed it.
